الجيش السوري يخطف مواطنا في عرسال واهالي العبودية يقطعون الطريق الدولية في ظل دعوة رئاسية للإفراج عن ذويهم
Read this story in English
دعا رئيس الجمهورية ميشال سليمان "السلطات السورية الى اطلاق الشابين من أبناء العبودية".
ورأى "ان تكاثر اعمال الخطف والقتل في الايام الاخيرة عل الحدود مع سوريا أمر مثير للقلق ومرفوض ويجب بالتالي اجراء التحقيقات اللازمة في الموضوع من الجانبين اللبناني والسوري لتوضيح صورة ما حصل وتفاصيله لمنع تكرار مثل هذه الخروقات.
وشدد على أن "احترام سيادة لبنان وسوريا هو في مصلحة امن البلدين".
وبعد ظهر االخميس خطف الجيش السوري المواطن يحيي محمد الفليتي من منطقة خربة داوود في خراج بلدة عرسال.
في موازاة ذلك تجمع العشرات في منطقة العبودية شمالاً وقطعوا الطريق بالعوائق، احتجاجاً على خطف اللبنانيين الاثنين.
وأقدم 5 مسلحين من الجانب السوري على خطف المواطنين محمد ياسين المرعبي ومهدي حمدان من بلدة العبودية الحدودية في عكار، أثناء قيامهما بجمع محصول الموسم الزراعي، وساقوهما إلى الجانب السوري، الاربعاء.
واوضح احد المعتصمين لوكالة "فرانس برس" ان "ثلاثة اشخاص كانوا يعملون في ارضهم داخل الاراضي اللبنانية، عندما وصل مسلحون من الجانب السوري وخطفوا اثنين منهم، بينما تمكن الثالث من الفرار".
وقال "سنكمل باعتصامنا وقطع الطريق الى ان يتم الافراج عنهما"، مهدداً بالتصعيد اذا لم يتم اطلاقهما.
ونصب المحتجون خيمة في وسط الطريق بين مركز الجمارك اللبنانية ومركز الامن العام اللبناني، على بعد حوالى 700 متر من المعبر الحدودي الرسمي الذي يوصل الى منطقة حمص السورية. ووضعوا كتلا اسمنتية وعوائق واطارات لقطع الطريق.
وكان سكان العبودية قطعوا مساء الاربعاء الطريق بالاطارات المشتعلة والعوائق، قبل ان يعاد فتحها لتقطع مجددا هذا الصباح.
وحصلت حوادث اطلاق نار عدة خلال الاشهر الماضية في مناطق حدودية في شمال وشرق لبنان من الاراضي السورية نحو الاراضي اللبنانية، او عمليات توغل لجنود سوريين في اراض لبنانية اثناء ملاحقتهم فارين او بحثهم عن مهربي سلاح، بحسب بعض التقارير. وتسببت هذه الحوادث بسقوط قتلى وجرحى.

You mean they were not hunting rabbits and they still were kidnapped? It must because they were carrying shovels and pick axes near a tense border .... they should have known better than that.

Imagine Lebanon establishing a security zone a couple of KM:s into Syrian territory...
This would be possible thanks to Lebanese diaspora Lobbying in the Chinese parliament and thus we have unlimited chinese weapons.
China will never let go of Lebanon. No matter which political party wins in the upcoming Chinese elections.
Ah. Imagine how peaceful life would hv been.

I don't understand how some people can remain silent about what's happening near the border with Syria. Are you that afraid of the Syrians? Or are you such traitors that you won't stand up and defend the honor of your country? Instead you make excuses such as "They were hunting or carrying weapons". I don't care what they were doing, they were in Lebanese territory and it's up to the Lebanese army (not the syrian) to investigate and arrest them (if justified). Shame on you for being such cowards. The syrian regime is a criminal regime that will never last as it has crossed the red line. Stop betting on it, Lebanon cannot stand against the international community nor should it. Send the army to the border and fight back if necessary.

I think Kataeb, LF, Future ( Ive said it before) all other interested parties should station a mokawame alongside strategic points on the Lebanese/Syrian border.
A couple of thousend men. This is not hostile, just in order to prevent any more kidnaps.

I fear that in Wadi Khaled, al Qaa, Aarsal, they established already strongholds, and quite hostile ones. And this is not even exporting revolution; its pure sympathy for Syrian opposition (or, if you prefer, pure interference). The North is a de fato safe haven for foreign guerrillas, bracing to fight a war in a neighbouring country. Lebanon has seen this before.

“Respecting Lebanon and Syria’s sovereignty falls in the best interest of the security and peace of both countries,” Suleiman said.
what a weak statement is this? it is lebanese sovereignty that is being violated and he is more worried about issuing a balanced statement to appease the syrians by mentioning their sovereignty?
where is the lebanese useless army. the general barks about attacking it in public but it fails to protect the lebanese... failure to stop at a checkpoint leads to being shot in the head, while they refuse to shoot one bullet in protection of lebanese on the border...
