Israeli Air Force (IAF) launched a precision strike in Damascus today, killing Salman Nemer, Hezbollah’s representative to the Syrian military. The operation targeted a key figure who facilitated weapons smuggling between Syria and Lebanon, endangering civilians in both nations.
Nemer, led Hezbollah’s operations in Syria, holding several influential roles over the years. He previously served as Head of Intelligence in the Khiam arena and Head of Operations at Hezbollah’s Damascus command center. Recently, he acted as Hezbollah’s liaison to the Syrian military, coordinating weapons transfers and providing operational support, including during the “Swords of Iron” conflict.
The Syrian regime actively supported Hezbollah by enabling Covert trade routes and providing strategic assistance. Nemer’s involvement largely boosted Hezbollah’s capabilities, allowing them to expand their presence in the region. His close ties with Syrian officials further advanced Hezbollah’s agenda, particularly in arms trafficking and operational coordination.
The strike delivered a severe blow to Hezbollah by disrupting their operations in Syria and weakening their force-building efforts. By eliminating Nemer,, the IAF cut a critical link between Hezbollah and the Syrian military, impairing their ability to smuggle weapons and resources.
Israel is still taking decisive action against threats posed by Hezbollah. Nemer,’s death deals a major hit to Hezbollah’s strategic plans, reducing their influence and ability to operate effectively in Syria.
By targeting key figures like Nemer,, the IAF demonstrates its resolve to safeguard security in the region. The operation not only disrupts Hezbollah’s activities but also reinforces Israel’s stance against terrorism and weapons Growth.
