The Syrian opposition website Thiqa News Agency posted a two-minute video on Tuesday appearing to show a Hezbollah shipment of shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles from Lebanon to Syria, according to a report exclusively shared with Jewish News Syndicate by the Middle East Media Research Institute's Iran Threat Monitor Project.

According to the report, the missiles were transported in three Hyundai trucks covered in canvas emblazoned with a UN symbol and in crates labeled humanitarian aid to prevent them from being attacked by the Israeli Air Force en route to their destination.
Hezbollah had never transported such weapons across the border before, according to Thiqa News Agency.
The outlet also reported that the Iran-backed terror group, which holds considerable sway in Lebanon, has transported Iranian-manufactured shoulder-launched missiles to the Al-Qalamoun area near the Lebanon-Syria border and deployed 15 of them in the rural area of the Homs Governorate.

It further stated that Hezbollah is soon expected to begin training its members in the operation of these weapons "to repel any attack by the Israeli or American air forces."
