إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese army foiled an infiltration attempt overnight when some gunmen tried to infiltrate the outskirts of Ras Baalbek and Wadi Rafek near of al-Qaa, the state-run National News Agency reported on Monday.
Lebanese troops engaged in heavy armed clashes with the infiltrators, NNA added.
Reports have raised fears lately that Syrian armed gunmen were planning to open a front in Lebanon by invading the northeastern border town of Arsal and advancing into al-Qaa, Ras Baalbek and other nearby villages.
According to the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Siyassah, the al-Qaida-affiliate al-Nusra Front, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and the Free Syrian Army have been entrenched for the past two months and a half on the mountains overseeing the Lebanese Bekaa on the porous Syrian-Lebanese border.

The whole M14 are a joke, that's what they don't realize. They must be extremely sad, about their takfiri investment gone wrong.

Indeed, and if they didnt have sugar daddies in the gulf bankrolling them they would have bankrupted ten times over with all their bad investments.

Not a single day passes by without our dear army doing a job nothing short of miraculous. Not a day passes without seeing our rotten politicians, M8 and M14 confounded doing things that are aimed at destroying the very fabrics of Lebanon's foundations. To this day, people like me will urge the army to carry out a military take over, declare martial law, impose military rule, jail all politicians and clerics who are doodling with the fate of Lebanon, and let us all live as equals in a country of laws. Anything else will only exacerbate matters further.
