| [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. |
