Five Shells Fired from Syria Hit Border Lebanese Villages
[An Nahar] Five shells from Syrian territories landed on Saturday in Lebanese villages along the northeastern border with Syria.
Two shells targeted Sahlat al-Mayy region on the outskirts of the town of al-Qasr in northeast of the Hermel district.
The state-run National News Agency reported that the shelling only caused material damage.
Later, a third shell landed in the center of al-Qasr village, damaging a house, without causing any casualties.
The NNA said that the military cordoned off the area and prevented people from gathering.
Two other shells hit al-Hermel village, the news agency reported.
The two-year long violence in Syria has increasingly spilled over into Leb, with cross-border shelling in the north and east.
On Wednesday, Syrian Ambassador Ali Abdul Karim Ali denied that caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour had handed him a letter of protest over the recent cross-border attacks, playing down an attempt to file a complaint with the Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
Top Lebanese leader had decided on Monday to submit to the vaporous Arab League a letter of protest condemning the spillover of fire from Syria onto Leb.
