Syrian Army Accidentally Fires at Lebanese Army in Northern Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A unit from the Syrian army accidentally fired at the Lebanese army when the former infiltrated northern Lebanon on Thursday, reported the National News Agency.
It explained that a 15-member unit from the Syrian army entered Lebanon near the northern town of al-Mwanseh as it was following shepherds along the Lebanese-Syrian border.
The Lebanese army soon arrived at the scene to inspect the affair.
The Syrian unit then accidentally fired at the army after it had mistaken its identity, the agency said.
The situation returned to normalcy after contacts were made to clarify the incident, NNA added.
Later on Thursday, the Lebanese army’s orientation directorate issued a communiqué on the incident’s circumstances.
“This afternoon, a patrol belonging to the Syrian Arab Forces crossed around 200 meters into the Lebanese territory at the al-Mwanseh point in the north province, and fired a number of machinegun salvos while pursuing fugitives across the border,” the communiqué said.
“At once, an army unit arrived at the spot only to find that the aforementioned patrol had returned to where it came from, while upholding its shooting from the Syrian side of the border, which led to minor damages to a military vehicle, without any human casualties,” the orientation directorate added, noting that “the issue is being followed up in coordination between the Lebanese and Syrian armies.”

A disciplined army unit infiltrates another country and opens fire on locals there. Seriously, does anyone believes it was an "accident"?

Another Joke.
Too much to believe and too much to Digest ...
*May be they are not used to fight Army to Army......resistance mentality.
*May be they were cleaning their weapons and fired Accidentally in the wrong direction.
*May be they were ordered to fire on anything that moves....so they followed the shepherds, and the goats and mistakenly the Lebanese army was moving obstacle....
We can write a book of May be but that is enough.
Oamar Karame will have a joke to laugh at with the Syrian ambassador

@Jabal Amel, by your comments I can tell two things about you: 1. You are not Lebanese but Syria. 2. You have escaped from some sort of Psych ward.

TO HABAL AMEL, the Syrian army has not fired at your "zionists" in 4o years, though they have fired plenty on Palestenians, Lebanese and now on the SYRIANS. The "zionists" have killed 1100 lebanese in 2006, the Syrian "brotherly army" has killed over 5000 Syrians, wounded adun, 20,000 prisoners, that makes Bashar/Maher in the ranks of Sharon. Of course you do not care as long as the victims are sunis because you are a NAZI iranian thug.
I am sad to inform you that the glory Iranian mini-era in lebanon is witnessing the beginning of its end.

If this is Israel, it could lead to a war, yet, no one has condemned this. Did the army fire back at the source of the fire, if so, are they going to be prosecuted for it. Lebanon, what a freak show we made of it.

Ok Let's look at things from this point of view....
A Country like Syria recently being known as a place with a terrorists activities being going on and the regime killing so many people as an excuse that they are terrorists. And the fact that some politicians in Lebanon are spreading rumours about some parties in Lebanon smuggling arms 2 Syrians, and the fact that the Lebanese army has been shot at from somewhere and the army didnt fire back. I mean this is kinda funny. And the funniest thing is that Habal Amel that is protecting and commenting with his stupid retarded illeterate comments. GO GET some life small boy! You are such an idiot!

Hezbollah and Iran also "accidentally" killed Hariri Gemayel, Tueni, Kassir, Hawi, Eid and others.
To the Persian Propagandists (Mowaten, BigIdiot, JabelAmel)....... yes we know you have instructions to support the murdering dictator regime in Syria, and the murdering terrorist militia Hezbollah, and you are instructed to call everyone else "Zionists".
Try to do some simple math. Count the number of countries in your axis of evil (Iran, Syria, North Korea), add the countries who are are allied with the axis of evil (Venezuela, Cuba, maybe 5 other countries). Now count the number of countries who are against the axis of evil. Total score is about 170 countries united against axis of evil, and about 10 allied with the axis of evil, and about 10 abstentions (give or take a few). Now subtract out Israel and Zionists. You are still outnumbered 169 to 10.
My point is, there are many people who are not Zionists, but are united against your axis of evil

We need to arm ourselves again and yes lesson learned from 40yrs war to defend our Northern/Bekaa borders from the axis of evil, we will not cease arming ourselves and aligned with the non-axis of evil Countries until the terrorists lay down their arms or get dissolved by force.
