DAMASCUS, Nov 27 (NNN-SANA) – Zionist warplanes carried out airstrikes targeting 10 official and unofficial border crossings between Syria and Lebanon, after midnight last night, killing six civilians and wounding more than 15 others, Syrian state media and monitoring groups reported.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, Israeli Zionist aircraft struck official crossings at al-Arida, in the countryside of the north-western province of Tartus for the first time, as well as, Daboussieh and Jousieh in the countryside of the central province of Homs.
Unofficial crossings in Wadi Khaled in rural Homs and three bridges over the al-Kabir River, which separates Syria and Lebanon, were also targeted, according to the watchdog group.
Syrian state television reported that, 18 people were injured at the al-Arida crossing, with three in critical condition. A report from Sham FM radio reported six deaths, and 15 injuries at the Daboussieh crossing in Homs.
In rural Damascus, Zionist jets targeted unofficial crossings in the areas of Juroud Qusaya and Juroud Nabi Sheet, near the towns of Serghaya and Zabadani. No immediate information on casualties was available.
With the latest strikes, the majority of land crossings between Syria and Lebanon have been rendered out of service, according to the observatory.
The escalation could sever any possible supply routes from Syria, said the observatory, as a ceasefire between the Israeli regime and Hezbollah is expected to go into effect early today.– NNN-SANA
