A source close to Lebanese group Hezbollah has said that Israel carried out strikes on a convoy of trucks entering Lebanon from Syria, AFP reports.

“Three Israeli strikes targeted a convoy of tanker trucks on the Syrian-Lebanese border in the Hawsh el-Sayyed Ali area, injuring one Syrian driver,” the source told AFP.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor also reported Israeli strikes inside Syria near the border with Lebanon, without mentioning any casualties.

The strikes targeted an area near a border crossing “used by Hezbollah to move trucks and group members” between Lebanon and Syria, said the Britain-based Observatory, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria.

“One of the strikes targeted a truck convoy” while another targeted “a farm on the outskirts of Qusayr in Homs province”, the Observatory said on Saturday. The Lebanese group claimed responsibility for five attacks on Israeli military positions near the border on Friday.
