Syria's defence ministry said six people were killed in Israeli strikes on border crossings with Lebanon just after midnight on Wednesday, hours before a Hizbollah-Israel ceasefire took effect.
"The Israeli enemy launched an air aggression from the direction of Lebanese territory, targeting border crossings between Syria and Lebanon," the ministry said in a statement. "The aggression killed six people, including two soldiers while the rest were civilians, and injured 12 others including children, women and Syrian Arab Red Crescent workers."
