Reported Israeli strike near Lebanon-Syria border forces crossing closure after partial reopening

Lebanon’s Transport Minister Ali Hamieh says an Israeli strike near a border crossing between northeast Lebanon and Syria forced the crossing to shut after it had been partly reopened.

The strike hit the same location within Syria, just past the Syrian border installation, as an Israeli bombardment last month closed the crossing, Hamieh says. It had been partly reopened for cars but not trucks and was now closed again.
