Israeli warplanes on Friday launched an airstrike near the Masnaa border crossing between Lebanon and Syria, forcing its closure, security and border guards told dpa.
The Masnaa crossing is the main crossing between the two countries, recently used by thousands of Lebanese and Syrians to flee the country after Israel started its offensive on Lebanon two weeks ago.
Israel has been accusing the pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement of using border crossings between Syrian and Lebanon to smuggle weapons into the country.
The Israeli army said it is looking into the reports. (dpa/NAN)
