Over 22,000 people have crossed from Lebanon to Syria amid flare-up — Syrian sources

Syrian security sources say more than 22,000 people have crossed from Lebanon into Syria via two border crossings this week, as Israeli airstrikes pound Lebanon amid attacks on Israel by the Hezbollah terror group.

“More than 6,000 Lebanese and around 15,000 Syrians” have entered through the main Jdeidet Yabus border, known on the Lebanese side as the Masnaa crossing, one security source says, requesting anonymity, while a second security source reports that “around 1,000 Lebanese and some 500 Syrians have passed” through a second crossing.
