Syrian Warplanes Launch Two Strikes on Arsal's Outskirts
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syria's air force launched two strikes on the outskirts of the Bekaa town of Arsal on Monday, causing no casualties, a Lebanese security source told Agence France Presse.
Lebanon's National News Agency said “Syrian warplanes launched two strikes on the town of Younine in the Eastern Mountain Range on the Lebanese-Syrian border.”
It said the raids did not cause any casualties.
Al-Jadeed television said the two strikes targeted “the Khirbet Younine area in Arsal's outskirts as the warplanes pursued armed men.”
Meanwhile, Voice of Lebanon radio (100.5) said “a Syrian warplane launched an air-to-ground missile against the Wadi Hmayyed area in Arsal's outskirts.”
The raid was the latest in a string of cross-border strikes against Arsal. On January 17, shells rained down on the town, killing eight people, including five children.
A December air raid prompted the Lebanese Army to fire back with anti-aircraft guns.
Arsal's residents support the revolt against President Bashar Assad, and the town has become home to thousands of Syrians who have fled the fighting. It has also turned into a route for the trafficking of arms and fighters from and to Syria.

Where are you ya Mansour to praise the great Bashar (Butcher) el Assad for not breaching our sovereignty ?
Please send a thank you letter to Bashar insisting on using our airspace to bomb syrians all over Lebanon and rid us of this "terrible" invasion!
Also, I would like to tip him off about many syrian terrorist "concierges" hiding in almost every Dahyé building ... make sure to take them out!
Looking forward to hear M8 sheep salivating and jerking off to Assad's warplanes flying over our country to defend Lebanon from the great Takfiri threat (Hezbollah is no longer in the country to do it for us).

Lebanese Army antiaircraft guns are rusty. But Mansour said you cannot compare Israeli raids to Syrian raids.

Exactly, I remember it clearly when they chanted and hoped for the total destruction of Hezbollah. Remember the people targeted at Arsal are takfiris running back and forward across the border.

I remember how Hezbollah celebrated most of the assassinations in Lebanon with bullets and baklawa... such a nice "win" for you M8 terrorists who can only face your opponents by murdering them !

I am not so sure about this. Several eyewitnesses saw Israeli jets flying in the vicinity where the attacks took place.

Yeah as I recall we opened our houses, schools, areas to our fellow Lebanese even though your leader instigated the whole drama. It was just before one of the biggest tourist seasons in Lebanon's history. Bravo. The immense damage that has been caused by this outlaw is unbelievable.
