JERUSALEM: The Israeli military said on Saturday it would strike an area near the main crossing between Syria and Lebanon, urging residents to evacuate immediately.
Israel has carried out strikes across Lebanon and launched a ground invasion in the south since March 2, when the Iran-backed Hezbollah entered the war in the Middle East.
“Due to Hezbollah´s use of the Masnaa Crossing for military purposes and smuggling of combat equipment, the IDF intends to carry out strikes on the crossing in the near future,” said the military´s Arabic-Language spokesman, Colonel Avichay Adraee.
