Work has been initiated to repair the international road connecting the Jdeidet Yabus border gate to the Lebanese border, which was damaged and closed in an attack by Israeli forces in Syria last month. According to officials, a temporary road has been opened until the work is completed.
Israeli forces launched an attack on the Lebanon-Syria border at 4:00 local time yesterday after US President Joe Biden announced that a ceasefire would come into effect between Hezbollah and Israel, killing 4 civilians, 2 soldiers and injuring 12. Lebanese Transport Minister Ali Hamieh stated that this was the first time Israel had attacked the three northern border gates with Syria.
