Israel Issues Evacuation Order of Masnaa Border Crossing
Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee confirmed in an official statement that the warning extends to all individuals traveling along the M30 highway in Lebanon, the key artery connecting Beirut to the Syrian frontier at Masnaa.
Adraee further stated that Israeli forces are actively preparing to strike the corridor, alleging that Hezbollah has been exploiting the crossing for "military purposes and smuggling weapons."
The strike warning forms part of a far broader Israeli offensive that Lebanese authorities say has, since March 2, killed 1,422 people, wounded 4,294 others, and forced more than one million civilians from their homes — a displacement crisis of staggering proportions.
Hezbollah, meanwhile, has launched sustained rocket barrages into Israel since early March, framing the attacks as direct retaliation against continued Israeli strikes on Lebanese territory, as well as the death of Iran's then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on February 28 — a strike widely regarded as a dramatic turning point in the region's escalating confrontation.
