Syria has closed its border crossings with Lebanon after receiving a warning from Israel that Israeli forces might target the crossings. The decision was reported by Al Jazeera on Wednesday, citing the Syrian land and sea port authorities. The closure follows heightened regional tensions and security concerns along the Syrian-Lebanese frontier.

According to the report, the Syrian land and sea port authorities stated that the move came after Israel issued a warning about potential strikes on the crossings. A media officer at the Jdeidet Yabous border crossing said that while the crossings are closed, entry will remain open for Syrians fleeing from Lebanon.

The closure comes amid reports of displacement in Lebanon due to Israeli attacks, with more than 65,000 people reportedly affected. The situation underscores the growing instability in the region and the potential for further humanitarian challenges if border restrictions continue.
