Escalating Tensions: Israeli Airstrikes Cut Off Key Lebanon-Syria Highway Amid Ongoing Violence
Recent Israeli airstrikes have severely impacted the flow of people and goods between Lebanon and Syria, as a major highway used for fleeing has been closed off, according to the Lebanese transport minister. The strikes have targeted areas close to the Lebanon-Syria border, with reports indicating that several civilians, including military advisors, have been killed. The situation remains critical as additional strikes continue to be carried out in response to perceived threats from Hezbollah. Amidst the chaos, thousands are reportedly stranded and unable to escape due to the blocked routes.
