Israel hits Lebanese road at border with Syria

BEIRUT, July 29 (Reuters) An Israeli air strike today hit Lebanon's main road to Damascus just 1 km from the border with Syria, cutting the highway in both directions, witnesses and security sources said.

Three air strikes hit the road between Lebanese and Syrian immigration offices, but on the Lebanese side of the border, they said. There was no information on casualties.

Israeli warplanes have been pounding southern Lebanon, southern Beirut and other parts of the country in the Jewish state's 18-day-long war with Hizbollah.
