Israel says it attacked several targets on Lebanese-Syrian border

The Israeli military said it attacked several targets in the border area on the Lebanese-Syrian border.
Israel’s army said it had attacked infrastructure used by the Lebanese Shiite Hezbollah militia along the Lebanese-Syrian border, specifically routes used by Hezbollah to bring weapons to Lebanon via Syria.
Meanwhile, four border crossings have been hit since Israel intensified its attacks in Lebanon on Thursday, Lebanese security sources said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which has been documenting violence in Syria since 2011, said.
The Israeli warplanes attacked a border crossing in the area around the Syrian town of al-Qusayr, near the border with Lebanon.
The war monitor said several people were injured.
It is the first Israeli attack on Syrian territory since Israel intensified its attacks on Lebanon on Monday, the observatory said.
According to information from the war monitor, Hezbollah tried to use the border crossings to bring more fighters from Yemen and Iraq into the country.
It stated that they were supposed to come to the country to support the Shiite militia in the event of a feared ground offensive by the Israeli military. .
