The Israeli military claimed on Thursday that its fighter jets struck infrastructure on the Syria-Lebanon border used by Hezbollah as cross-border attacks continued amid calls for a ceasefire. 

"A short while ago, (Israeli air force) fighter jets struck infrastructure along the Syria-Lebanon border used by Hezbollah to transfer weapons from Syria to Hezbollah in Lebanon, which the terrorist organisation used against Israeli civilians," a military statement claimed. 

Lebanese Transport Minister Ali Hamieh told Reuters earlier that the Israeli strike had hit the Syrian end of a small bridge that provides a crossing into Lebanon.
