A stream of refugees fleeing Lebanon to Syria have been crossing a narrow makeshift bridge in the Qusair area of Syria’s Homs province since the official border crossing was put out of commission by an Israeli strike two days earlier.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Israeli air strikes overnight on the main border crossing to Syria had left Lebanon's main crossing point to its neighbour unable to function, hindering refugee attempts to flee a country where a fifth of the population is already internally displaced, the UN's refugee agency said.

Lebanese state media said the Israeli army dynamited houses in Lebanese border villages on Saturday, more than a month into its war with Hezbollah.Lebanese state media has reported several incidents of Israeli blasts in border villages in recent days amid Israel's ground invasion.
