An Israeli strike on Friday near Lebanon’s Masnaa border crossing with Syria has severed a vital road used by hundreds of thousands seeking refuge from escalating conflict, according to Lebanese Transport Minister Ali Hamieh.
The strike hit within Lebanese territory near the border crossing, creating a four-meter-wide crater that rendered the road impassable. “This road has been a lifeline for people fleeing the intensified Israeli bombardments in recent days,” Hamieh stated.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had accused Hezbollah on Thursday of utilizing the crossing to transport military equipment into Lebanon.
