Israel's military ordered the evacuation of Lebanon's main border crossing with Syria on Sunday, warning it may carry out strikes in the area. The Masnaa crossing is used for civilian movement and had remained open throughout the conflict. Syria's customs authority said the crossing serves no military purpose and called the threat unjustified.
