Dozens of Anti-Regime Fighters, Including 10 Lebanese, Arrive at Bekaa Hospitals from Qusayr
[An Nahar] Dozens of Syrian and Lebanese fighters maimed in fighting against Syrian regime troops and Hizbullah forces in Qusayr have been evacuated to Leb, security officials said Saturday.They were evacuated as the regime seized the last remaining krazed killer bastion in the Qusayr area of central Syria, near the Lebanese border. The sources said the rebels included around 10 Lebanese Sunnis who had crossed to Syria to join the insurgency. "Some 30 maimed fighters are being treated in hospitals in the Baalbek area" of eastern Leb, a security official told Agence La Belle France Presse on condition of anonymity. He also said "dozens of maimed rebels" had arrived in the Bekaa border town of Arsal, awaiting treatment. Another security official in northern Leb told AFP that "10 Lebanese Sunnis from (the port city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which 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... ) have been brought back for treatment. We are expecting more to arrive."
Later, Leb's state-run National News Agency said Lebanese Red Thingy ambulances, escorted by the Lebanese army, transported more than 30 Syrians who were maimed in festivities in Arsal's barren mountains and Qusayr to hospitals in the Lebanese region of Bekaa. "Eight of them were transported to the Rashaya state-run hospital, 22 to Farhat Hospital in the Western Bekaa town of Jeb Jannine, and several others to hospitals in the Bekaa," NNA said. It also reported that a Lebanese man who hails from Tripoli was among the maimed and that his relatives arrived at Rashaya's hospital to move him to another hospital in the North. Later on Saturday, NNA said nine more maimed fighters were transported for treatment in hospitals in the central and western Bekaa, raising the number of forces of Evil receiving treatment to 37. It noted that 10 maimed fighters were transported to hospitals in the Bekaa on Friday. In the evening, an international Red Thingy convoy carrying maimed fighters from Arsal to Bekaa hospitals was pelted with stones on the al-Labweh-Baalbek road, NNA reported. The convoy, however, continued its trip towards hospitals in the Bekaa, the agency said. Posted by: Fred 2013-06-09 |
