The Israeli attack closed the main road used to flee Lebanon
Earlier this morning, an Israeli strike cut off a road near a Lebanese border crossing, according to the country’s transport minister (see our article at 6:39 am).

Ali Hamieh said the attack created a 4-meter-wide (12-foot) crater in the middle of the road near the Masnaa border post with Syria.
The road has been used by hundreds of thousands of people to escape Israeli bombardment in recent days.
The World Food Program’s director for Lebanon, Matthew Hollingworth, described the transition as “very bombed”.
“This means that goods that would normally arrive by land via this crossing – the cheapest and most efficient way of bringing goods into the country – will not be able to be accepted here either,” he told BBC Radio’s Today programme. Footage from the scene appears to show damage at the site.
