Israel has struck the Lebanon-Syria border, cutting off the main road linking the two countries, after overnight bombardment of the West Bank and Lebanese capital Beirut. The Friday morning strike near the Masnaa border crossing cut off the road used by hundreds of thousands of people to flee Israeli bombardments in recent days, Lebanon’s National News Agency said. The strike created a 4m wide crater. Israel on Thursday had accused Hezbollah of using the crossing to transport military equipment into Lebanon.
