Tunisian Arrested for Trying to Enter Qalamoun from Arsal
A Tunisian man was arrested Sunday for trying to cross into Syria's Qalamoun from the Bekaa region, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
“The Lebanese Army arrested Tunisian national Bassem bin Mohammed al-Silti while he was en route from Jib Janine to Arsal on his way to Qalamoun in Syria,” NNA said.
The agency said the man received treatment at the Jib Janine hospital in the Bekaa after he was wounded during battles in Qalamoun.
The Syrian army and Hizbullah fighters have expelled rebels from several strategic towns in Qalamoun, but Yabrud -- the largest in the region -- has so far remained an opposition stronghold.

Why prevent thugs from leaving lebanon and fighting into syria? Let him go and fight assad. Assad spent years having fighters cross from syria to lebanon to kill us

southern. Baabda declaration is about not allowing lebanese to fight abroad and import wars like the party of iran.
As for foreigners wanting to fight in syria, I dont give a hoot, especially if they fight baath.

Honestly I dont mind HA, or other iranian milicias fighting the terrorists in syria. fokhar ykassir ba3do.
But not out of lebanon. I dont like them to import wars to lebanon. I dont want by brothers shias to be killed in dahieh. I dont want the economy of our country to be on hold. Let HA have as a base Teheran, or baghdad, and fight syria from there and keep our dahieh alone.
Assad is not the best option. It is the worst. Takfiris, if they win, wont be able to govern. They will be kicked out. Daesh has been already kicked out. Even moslem brotherhood didnt last in egypt. Even before that, Before being kicked out, fondamentalist Morsi was begging the rich coptic sawaris family to return and invest in egypt.

At the end of the day, whomever governs in syria will have to produce growth and jobs. And takfiris wont be able to do growth and jobs, they will chase investments away. They are BOUND to be kicked out. like in Egypt.
Dont be afraid brother. Assad thrives on us thinking that we cant live without him. Well we can. We can be free and have safe prosperous countries.

if we let them attack syria from lebanon, then we can't ask syria not to hit them at the border.

The Jihadist from the Iranian militia are brotherly terrorists and are loved by one & all. That it why there are so many Syrian refugees coming into Lebanon when Hizbullah's thugs pay their home towns a visit.

Exactly, It is the National army LAF, job to secure the border from the foreign backed takfiris. Just like we saw what the Nusra front did to the LAF, this will step up their efforts to secure the Lebanese border, and when Yabroud has been taken, and the border secured, then we can continue our work with the Syrian intelligence, to keep our borders intact, and salafi free.

Yabroud is about to be freed, then we will see much lesser attacks by the takfiris. Most booby trapped cars in Lebanon, came directly from the takfiri controlled Yabroud.

Good heavens, what is it that lures these Takfiris from all over the globe to come and fight a war that is not theirs?! It reminds me so much during our civil war, Libyans, Somalis, Tunisians, Sudanese, Algerians, Yemenis, Pakis, Bangladeshis, Saudis, Palestinians, Syrians, everyone came to Lebanon to kill what they used to call us Christians, as In3izaliyin, Koofar. Now they're doing the same in Syria, and exactly as happened to them in Lebanon, they'll get the same treatment in Syria.
