UN: Humanitarian aid facilities hit

An Israeli strike targeted the crossing point today Al Ka ​​Jusia between Lebanon and Syria, the second such bombing in almost a week, with a UN official speaking of “humanitarian aid structures” being hit.

This particular crossing point, which was first targeted on October 25 and became crucial for the passage of refugees fleeing the war in Lebanon between Israel and Hezbollah, was hit again by the Syrian side in the early hours of this morning.

“A new Israeli raid hit the Jusiya crossing point, through which many Lebanese and Syrians cross from Lebanon to Syria,” said the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, in a message on Platform X.

“Humanitarian aid structures have also been affected. Escape has become difficult and dangerous (as has caring for those fleeing) as the war continues to spread,” he said.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an NGO based in Britain but with a large network of sources in Syria, confirmed that two Israeli strikes hit the crossing from the Syrian side.

The first Israeli strike in late October led to a 90% reduction in traffic at the crossing.

The escalation of conflict between Hezbollah and Israel since September 23 has prompted more than 500,000 people, mostly Syrians, to flee Lebanon to seek refuge in Syria, according to Lebanese authorities.

The Israeli air force had already carried out a raid on October 4 in eastern Lebanon near the Masna crossing point with Syria, cutting the main road between the two countries.

Lebanon and Syria are connected by six crossing points. However, there are also dozens of illegal crossings and informal routes that cross the long, porous border.

The crossing points in central Syria’s Homs province – where Jusiya is located – are not far from the city of al-Qusair, considered an important zone of influence for Hezbollah, which intervened in the war in Syria to support Bashar al-Assad’s forces.

Confirming on October 25 the shelling of “infrastructure of the border post” Al Ka ​​Jusiya, an Israeli military spokesman said that Hezbollah was “planning to transport weapons through the crossing point”.

Since September 23, Israeli strikes in Lebanon have killed more than 1,900 people, according to an AFP tally based on data from Lebanon’s health ministry.
