evidence: The crossing, called al-Qaa in Lebanon and Jussiyeh in Syria, was closed in 2012 as fighting raged between President Bashar al-Assad's forces and rebel fighters seeking his overthrow. [...] Ceremonies were held on Thursday on both sides of the al-Qaa/Jussiyeh crossing, which is set to re-open on Friday morning. [...] The mainly Christian al-Qaa area in Lebanon was targeted several times in cross-border attacks, including suicide bombings in June last year that killed five people.
