[An Nahar] Machinegun rounds, flares and percussion bombs were fired from the Syrian side of the border towards the stream of the Grand River on Wednesday, some of which landing in the northern Lebanese town of Bani Sakhr in al-Bqaiaa region, Leb's state-run National News Agency reported."Machinegun volleys struck several homes, causing no casualties, as a bomb landed in a grove," NNA quoted residents as saying."

MTV reported that "the General Security checkpoint in Wadi Khaled was targeted by Syrian anti-aircraft gunfire," and that residents were urging the Lebanese army to "protect them." Separately, Lebanese Red Thingy ambulances transported five maimed Syrians to the state-run hospital in the northern city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of thich is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... , after they entered Leb via its northeastern border. Posted by: Fred 2012-03-22 |
