DAMASCUS — Israeli airstrikes targeted the Jusiyah crossing on the Syria-Lebanon border on Saturday night, causing damage, Syria’s Al-Watan online newspaper reported.

Details on casualties or damage were not immediately available, and there has been no official statement from Syrian authorities.

The Jusiyah area has been a site of tension due to its strategic location. It is known for movements of Hezbollah members between Syria and Lebanon.

This attack comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Israel escalating strikes against what it perceives as Hezbollah’s targets in Lebanon.
