Israel raid closes key crossing

[daleo]

"An Israeli air strike has closed the main border crossing from Lebanon into Syria, witnesses and officials say.
Missiles hit the road between the two states' immigration posts, but on the Lebanese side, the reports said.

A separate strike wounded two UN monitors in their observation post, the UN said, days after four were killed."

Note - that's the first I have seen about more UN monitors getting hit.

3. A number of UNIFIL folk have been hit.

Some by Israel, some by Hezbollah. Some by bombs and mortar, some by gunfire.

UN press releases include at least some of the info. Some of the info is exculpatory, some snivelling.
