Lebanon reported an Israeli air attack on the Syrian border on Friday severed the key international road connecting the two nations.

Coastal Lebanon borders Israel, with whom Hezbollah is at war, and Syria, where tens of thousands of civilians have fled the country’s strife.
Israel claims Hezbollah uses the road to transport weapons across the border from Syria, with whom it is affiliated.

“The road that leads to the main humanitarian crossing for thousands of Lebanese into Syria is now cut off after an Israeli strike,” Transport Minister Ali Hamieh told AFP.

The official National News Agency also reported the strike, saying that “enemy warplanes hit the Masnaa area”, as the crossing is known, “cutting off the road”.
