An Israeli strike near Lebanon’s Masnaa border crossing with Syria this morning created a four-meter (12 feet) wide crater, Lebanon Transport Minister Ali Hamieh tells Reuters.
The Hezbollah-affiliated minister says the strike — on the Lebanese side of the border — cut off a road used by Lebanese fleeing to Syria.
Yesterday, an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) military spokesman accused Lebanese terror group Hezbollah of using the crossing to transport military equipment into Lebanon.
“The IDF will not allow the smuggling of these weapons and will not hesitate to act if forced to do so, as it has done throughout this war,” IDF spokesman Avichay Adraee said on X.
