Leb's National News Agency said the bodies of three Syrians killed in the festivities and 10 maimed fighters were transferred to a field hospital in Arsal.
The long and mostly non-existent border is often used by smugglers, refugees and fighters.

In April, Syrian forces backed by allied fighters from Hizbullah retook control of most of the Qalamun region.
But Syrian activists say hundreds of opposition fighters have taken refuge in the caves and hills in the border area, using it as a rear base from which to launch attacks inside Syria.
Last month, Lebanese Army forces carried out raids in the area targeting bully boyz with ties to "terrorist groups", an army statement said at the time.
