Syria’s state news agency SANA confirmed that four civilians and two government soldiers were killed in those attacks, which took place before the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect at 4am local time in Lebanon (02:00 GMT), Al Jazeera reports.

Twelve people were also wounded in the attacks, including children, women and workers from the Syrian Red Crescent.

The three border areas that were targeted are the Arida crossing, in Syria’s Tartous province, and the Dabussiyeh and Jussiyeh crossings, in Syria’s Homs province.
