| Syrian Warplanes Shell Arsal, No Injuries Reported |
| 2013-11-24 |
| [An Nahar] Syrian warplanes on Saturday fired several rockets on the border town of Arsal in the eastern mountain belt without causing any injuries. "A Syrian military aircraft shelled the Wadi Hmayyed area in Arsal without causing any injuries," Future television reported. Meanwhile, ...back at the saw mill, Scarface Al had tied Little Nell to the log and was about to turn on the buzz saw... LBCI television said a Syrian helicopter fired three rockets on the center of Arsal, without reporting any injuries. Since the eruption of the neighboring country's war, Arsal has repeatedly been targeted with Syrian rockets. On Tuesday, a Syrian warplane shelled the uninhabited Aqabat al- Mobayyideh region in Arsal. And two men were killed on Monday in a mine blast in Syria, where they had planned to join the fight against the regime. The men from Arsal were headed to Qara, a rebel-held Syrian town near the frontier where loyalist troops have launched a major offensive in recent days. Arsal has a long shared border with Syria, stretching along much of Damascus province and part of Homs province. Smugglers have long taken their goods across the mostly non-existent border, and since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in March 2011, weapons and fighters have moved across the border too. |
