Evidence

This is a broad, recurring claim rather than a single discrete incident. Multiple independent, mainstream news outlets have consistently reported Israeli cross-border military activity into Lebanon and Syria over an extended period. The National reported intensified Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon and Syria's Golan area; France 24 and The Japan Times both reported Israeli airstrikes on Beirut and southern Lebanon that killed civilians and forced closure of a Syria-Lebanon border crossing; The Times of Israel and Kurdistan24 reported IDF strikes on Syria-Lebanon border crossings said to be used by Hezbollah for arms smuggling; and older reporting from Malay Mail, Gulf News, and India's News on Air documents a pattern of Israeli strikes and border-crossing closures stretching back through 2024. No dedicated fact-check from Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat, or EUvsDisinfo addressing this specific general statement was found, likely because it is a broad situational summary rather than a single falsifiable image, video, or quote.
