Syrian Warplanes Target Outskirts of Arsal Anew
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A Syrian raid targeted on Thursday the eastern town of Khirbet Younine on the outskirts of Arsalfor the second day in a row.
According to Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) the airstrike targeted opposition gunmen in the area.
VDL (100.5) said that a rocket fired by Syrian warplanes landed in Arsal.
On Wednesday, a Syrian airstrike targeted an area near a post for the Lebanese army in village of Aqba al-Mabeeda, prompting the army to reportedly open anti-aircraft fire.
A December air raid prompted the Lebanese Army to fire back with anti-aircraft guns.
Arsal has a long shared border with Syria, stretching along much of Damascus province and part of Homs province.
That was believed to be the first time the Lebanese army had responded to a raid, though it had previously threatened to do so.
Since the eruption of the neighboring country's war, Arsal has repeatedly been targeted with Syrian rockets.
Smugglers have long taken their goods across the porous border, and since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in March 2011, weapons and fighters have moved across the border too.

Waynak Ya Gebran Bassil, representative of a "strong president" who can stand up for Lebanon and defend our sovereignty !
File a damn complaint against the terrorist regime of Bashar al Assad to the UN Security Council or line up with other traitors such as Hassan Kezballah on death row !

Those who voted me down are M8 traitors who want to give our country back to Bashar. They do not believe in Lebanon, its borders or sovereignty.
They want to go back to a time where the country was run by Syrian Moukhabarat and their dogs including Sayyed, Lahoud, n co...
You guys are traitors.
Remember ya Aounies when Sayyed and Lahoud were beating you up when you called for Syria to back off Lebanon ?

Please let me know who I have supported... it's pitiful that you have to make up lies about me.
Unlike you, I do not support "men", I support ideas and whomever is siding with them. You support erratic leaders who switch positions to fulfil their personal gains...

it's a shame the army doesn't do anything, when u think that almost all families in Arsal have a son that served in the LAF or fought the israelis in the south.
Hizbiran oppressing sunnis and LAF turning a blind eye :
