Syria Army Shoots 2 Men Trying to Cross from Wadi Khaled into Syria
2014-05-14
[AnNahar] The Syrian army on Monday shot up two Lebanese citizens who were trying to cross into Syria via an illegal border crossing in northern Leb.

"Troops from the regular Syrian army shot up Khaled al-Mheimed and a man from the al-Ouwaishi family, who are both Lebanese from the Wadi Khaled region," Leb's National News Agency reported.

It said they were trying to cross on a cycle of violence into Syrian territory through the illegal al-Ouwaishat border crossing.

The two men were "critically maimed" by the Syrian gunshots, NNA said.

Lebanese Red Thingy medics transferred them to the Our Lady of Peace Hospital in Qoubaiyat.

Ever since the Syrian crisis erupted in 2011, the largely uncontrolled border in Wadi Khaled has witnessed infiltration attempts by gunnies in both directions in addition to arms trafficking operations. Shells fired by the Syrian forces have also targeted the area.
