Masnaa, Lebanon - November 07, 2024 Israeli strikes have severed roads near the Masnaa border crossing in Lebanon's eastern Bekaa Valley, complicating the journey of Lebanese people seeking refuge in Syria. As tensions persist between Israel and Hezbollah, the conflict has forced hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians to escape the bombardments and exit the country through the Masnaa border crossing, a vital passage to Syria, which shares a land border with Lebanon alongside Israel. Over the past month, the main road to the Masnaa border crossing has been bombed twice, creating a large crater less than three kilometers from the Syrian border. On Thursday, the displaced people were seen driving close by and carrying their belongings across the crater before they find a way to reach the border. According to Lebanon's General Security Directorate, from Sept 23 to Nov 5, over 550,000 Lebanese people left the country to enter Syria or use it as a transit point to seek refuge in other countries.
