BEIRUT, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Six Lebanese soldiers were injured on Thursday in an Israeli drone raid on the Hosh al-Sayyed Ali area of the Syrian-Lebanese border, according to Lebanese military sources.
The military sources, who spoke anonymously, told Xinhua that "an Israeli drone fired two air-to-ground missiles at a short distance from a Lebanese army checkpoint at the Hosh al-Sayyed Ali crossing in eastern Lebanon," leaving six soldiers with various injuries and causing damage to the checkpoint and nearby military vehicles.
Meanwhile, the official Lebanese National News Agency reported that "an enemy drone raided the border separating Lebanon and Syria in Hosh al-Sayyed Ali."
So far there has been no Israeli comment on the drone attack.
The raid came about a week after an Israeli airstrike hit the Syria-Lebanon border known as the Jdeidat Yabous crossing in Syria and the Masnaa crossing in Lebanon, a key transit route used by tens of thousands of Lebanese refugees and Syrian citizens fleeing the Israeli assault in Lebanon.
The latest border attack occurred amid heightened tensions along the Syria-Lebanon border, as Israel continues its unprecedented, intensive air attack on Lebanon in an escalation with Hezbollah. ■
