It said fighter jets had struck a tunnel used to smuggle weapons from Iran and other proxies into Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>Hezbollah is believed to have received much of its weaponry from Iran via Syria. The group has a presence on both sides of the border, a region where it has been fighting alongside Syrian President Bashar Assad\u2019s forces.<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press video footage showed two huge craters on each side of the road. People got out of cars, unable to pass the site of the strike, carrying bags of their possessions as they crossed on foot.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\" data-align-fullwidth=\"\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<div class=\"ImageTwoUpEnhancement\">\n<figure class=\"Figure\">\n<picture data-crop=\"twoup-3x2\"><source media=\"(max-width: 599px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/64d4baf\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5755+0+2\/resize\/599x399!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/f7cbcf3\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5755+0+2\/resize\/1198x798!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 2x\"><source media=\"(max-width: 599px)\" width=\"599\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/3be1738\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5755+0+2\/resize\/599x399!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/1322a57\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5755+0+2\/resize\/1198x798!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 2x\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/ede4958\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5756+0+2\/resize\/767x511!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/375af36\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5756+0+2\/resize\/1534x1022!\/format\/webp\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 2x\"><source width=\"767\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/35e48f2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5756+0+2\/resize\/767x511!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/82e7fd2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5756+0+2\/resize\/1534x1022!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 2x\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Image\" alt=\"Image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/35e48f2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5756+0+2\/resize\/767x511!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 1x,https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/82e7fd2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5756+0+2\/resize\/1534x1022!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945 2x\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/dims.apnews.com\/dims4\/default\/35e48f2\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/8640x5756+0+2\/resize\/767x511!\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F4b%2F11%2F89bbe44b59c594e1d39f4fac40ef%2Fddee41cba5c345e6b397c0a1fd026945\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/source><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>\n<div class=\"Figure-content\">\n<p><bsp-read-more class=\"ReadMore\" data-more-button-text=\"Read More\" data-less-button-text=\"Read Less\" data-expand=\"ReadMore-expand\" data-limit=\"110\" data-main-class=\"ReadMore\"><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\">Flames rise from Israeli airstrikes in Dahiyeh, Beirut, Lebanon, Friday, Oct. 4, 2024.
