Syria’s Land and Sea Ports Authority has announced the closure of its border crossing with Lebanon for departures after receiving a warning from Israel that the crossing could be targeted by Israeli forces.

According to the authority, the measure was taken as a precaution following the warning, News.Az reports, citing Al Jazeera.

However, the crossing remains open for arrivals, as Syrians continue to flee Lebanon.
