Report: Washington Demanded Israel Suspend Attacks on the Masnaa Border Crossing between Syria and Lebanon

SadaNews - Washington asked Israel to suspend attacks on the Masnaa border crossing between Syria and Lebanon, according to an Israeli report on Sunday.

This came as reported by the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation ("Kan 11") on Sunday evening, noting that the U.S. administration requested that Israel suspend its offensive on the crossing, "shortly after the spokesperson for the Israeli army issued a warning in Arabic about an evacuation before the attack on the site."

The Israeli occupation army claimed that Hezbollah is using the crossing and the adjacent M30 highway for military purposes, and that the army is preparing to attack the crossing, calling for everyone present to evacuate in preparation for bombing.

The report mentioned that Israel "received a request from the United States to suspend the attack on the crossing for 'political' reasons, leaving the matter to the Syrian security officials who operate on behalf of Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara. "

The broadcasting authority reported that a source described as knowledgeable about the topic stated that the Syrian government told the Americans that it is working against Hezbollah and has recently thwarted attempts to smuggle weapons from Syria to Lebanon.

In a related context, the Israeli army transferred Iron Dome system batteries closer to the Lebanese border to protect the occupying forces stationed in southern Lebanon from fire from high elevations, according to military commentator Roy Sharon.

More than 100 rocket shells are fired daily at Israeli ground forces in southern Lebanon.

In this context, the Israeli army renewed its violations in Syria on Sunday by penetrating the village of Al-Hurriyah in the rural area of Quneitra province in the south of the country, using 5 military vehicles and more than 30 soldiers.

The official Syrian news channel reported that "the Israeli occupation forces are penetrating with 5 military vehicles and more than thirty soldiers into the village of Al-Hurriyah in northern Quneitra, inspecting several homes."

Israeli violations of Syrian sovereignty have become daily lately, with the official news agency "SANA" reporting on Saturday that "the Israeli occupation forces arrested a child while herding sheep in the village of Ruwayhina, in northern Quneitra."

Today, Sunday, the chief of staff of the Israeli army, Eyal Zamir, stated that the opportunity is favorable to change the security reality in Lebanon, confirming that the occupying army will ensure the disarmament south of the Litani River, while local authority heads in northern Israel urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to make disarming Hezbollah a goal of the war.
