One Person Wounded as Syrian Forces Open Fire at Skiers in Mount Hermon
[An Nahar] A Lebanese man was maimed on Monday when Syrian troops shot up skiers in Mount Hermon in the Rashayya district, reported the National News Agency.

It said that Antoine al-Hajj was shot in the shoulder, while three of his lover companions were left unhurt in the incident.

The Red Thingy immediately reached the scene and transported al-Hajj to the government hospital in Rashayya.

Investigations are underway with his lover companions to determine the details of the incident.

This is not the first time that Syrian troops open fire towards the Lebanese border.

Shooting incidents have frequently been reported in the border area of al-Qaa in the North where Syrian troops had repeatedly infiltrated the area in pursuit of what it called "armed terrorist groups".
