Damascus accuses Hezbollah of shelling targets inside Syria
Syria's army claims Hezbollah shelled several positions west of Damascus from the Lebanese border, escalating tensions between the two long-time allies and raising fears of wider regional conflict.
On March 10, 2026, Syria's army publicly accused the Lebanese Hezbollah movement of shelling several targets inside Syria, west of the capital Damascus, from across the Lebanese border. The reported attacks were not claimed by Hezbollah, and the incident has strained the previously close alliance between the Syrian government and the Iranian-backed group. The Syrian military warned of retaliation if such strikes continue, while Hezbollah has yet to issue an official statement. The exchange has heightened regional tensions amid ongoing efforts to stabilize Syria's political transition and has raised concerns about the potential for spillover into neighboring Lebanon.
