The crossing point had been closed for two months and a half. Besides, the three cement barriers obstructing the road between Sfaray and the gate to al-Mashnaqa Crossing Point were removed, and agent Joseph Karam, nicknamed "Alloush", became in charge of the crossing point. Now traffic could move in both directions: from the east of Saida to Roum-Jezzine and from Roum-Jezzine to the Lebanese checkpoint in Kfarfalouse.
