Israel strike on Qaa puts second Syria crossing out of service

Transport minister Ali Hamieh said Friday that Israeli bombing put a second border crossing between the country and Syria out of service -- leaving one official passage between the two nations operational.

"The Qaa crossing has been put out of service after an Israeli strike on Syrian territory, hundreds of meters from Syrian border guards," Hamieh told AFP, adding that the strike blocked the passage of vehicles.
