Hundreds cross into Syria from Lebanon after Israel strikes
Some 500 people have crossed from Lebanon to war-torn Syria, a Syrian security official told AFP Tuesday, fleeing the deadliest Israeli bombardment since Hezbollah and Israel fought a devastating war in 2006.
"Around 500 people crossed the border through the Qusayr and Dabousiya crossings between 4 pm (1300 GMT) and midnight," Monday, the security official told AFP, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters. "Vehicles were still crossing in the early hours of the morning," he added.
