(260405) -- DAMASCUS, April 5, 2026 (Xinhua) -- Service windows for Syrian and Lebanese arrivals are seen empty at the Jdeidet Yabous crossing between Syria and Lebanon on April 5, 2026. Syrian authorities said Saturday that a key border crossing with Lebanon will be temporarily closed due to security concerns following Israeli warnings of possible strikes on the area.
The General Authority for Land and Sea Borders and Crossings said the Jdeidet Yabous crossing, opposite Lebanon's Masnaa crossing, is designated solely for civilian use, not for any military purposes.
Traffic would resume once the situation stabilizes, it said. (Photo by Monsef Memari/Xinhua)
