Israel struck in the no-man's land at Masnaa on Saturday, forcing the closure of the crossing to commercial traffic - though some ambulances and relief material continue to come through. Mores trike followed Sunday.

Another airstrike Monday killed a Lebanese soldier in his car outside the southern port city of Tyre. Israel said it had believed the car was carrying a senior Hezbollah official and acknowledged the mistake.
