BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah says Syria will supply his Lebanese militia with "game-changing weapons."

Nasrallah spoke Thursday, less than a week after Israeli officials said Israeli aircraft twice struck shipments of advanced weapons believed to be bound for Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Syria has been the main conduit for Iranian weapons to Hezbollah.
