| [An Nahar] A rocket from Syrian territories landed on Tuesday on the outskirts of the eastern Bekaa town of Hermel, a Hizbullah stronghold, media reports said. However, Switzerland makes more than cheese... the state-run National News Agency reported that kaboom sounds heard in Hermel were caused by a raid carried out by Syrian planes inside Syria near the border region of al-Qaa in the northern Bekaa. Hermel's Municipal Chief Sobhi Saqr denied in comments to Voice of Leb radio (93.3) that a blast rocked the town, pointing out that Syrian planes bombarded areas in the eastern mountain range on the Lebanese-Syrian border . Hermel and other Bekaa areas were hit by several rockets in recent months, with Syrian rebels claiming most of the attacks, which they say are in retaliation to Hizbullah's military intervention in Syria. Meanwhile, ...back at the Esquimeau village the snowball down Jack's back had finally melted...... security forces began fortifying its presence in Hermel by taking extraordinary measures inside the town and on its entrances. The army erected checkpoints in the town to thoroughly inspect vehicles and checking the identification papers of passers-by. The measures were taken by the army after residents demanded a comprehensive plan to prevent any new blast in the area. |
