An Israeli strike near the Lebanon-Syria border disrupts escape route for thousands fleeing Israeli bombardments, according to Lebanon Transport Minister Ali Hamieh. The strike created a large crater on Lebanese territory, cutting off a crucial road used by over 300,000 people, mostly Syrians, in the past 10 days.
The Israeli army accused Hezbollah of using the border crossing for transporting military equipment into Lebanon. Army spokesman Avichay Adraee stated that the IDF will not allow such activities and will take action if necessary.
Hamieh emphasized that the crossing falls under Lebanese state authority, raising concerns about the impact of the strike on civilians seeking refuge. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the impact of military operations on innocent bystanders.
With the situation escalating, it remains to be seen how authorities will address the humanitarian crisis unfolding at the border. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
