The IDF warns that it will bomb the Masnaa Border Crossing between Syria and Lebanon, due to Hezbollah’s use of it for “military activity.”
“Due to Hezbollah’s use of the Masnaa Crossing for military activity and the smuggling of weapons, the IDF intends to strike the border crossing in the near future,” warns army spokesman Col. Avichay Adraee.
Adraee calls on anyone near the crossing to evacuate the area. “Remaining in this area puts you at risk,” he says.
