An Israeli strike hit a road linking Syria and Lebanon as Israel tries to cut off supply routes of Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, a war monitor said, AFP reports.

“Israeli aircraft carried out a strike targeting the road linking Syria and Lebanon” in the Quseir region on the Syrian side of the border, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the group with a wide network of sources in Syria, said the strike came as part of Israeli attempts “to cut the supply line to Hezbollah”.

There were no casualties and it was not immediately clear if the road had been cut off in the strike, he said.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported “enemy drone strikes on the border between Lebanon and Syria”.
