Hezbollah-affiliated minister says IDF strike targeted Lebanon-Syria border crossing

Lebanon’s transport minister says an Israeli strike put a second border crossing between the country and Syria out of service, leaving one official passage between the two nations operational.

“The Qaa crossing has been put out of service after an Israeli strike on Syrian territory, hundreds of meters from Syrian border guards,” Hezbollah-backed Ali Hamieh says, adding that the strike blocked the passage of vehicles.

Israeli has accused Hezbollah of smuggling weapons from Syria through land crossings, however there is no comment from the IDF on this specific alleged strike.
