إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syrian authorities have seized at the Jdeidet Yabous crossing weapons and ammunition being smuggled from Lebanon, the state run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA), reported late Thursday.
The truck smuggling the arms had an Iraqi license plate, it said. Authorities found 125 machine pump-action shotguns and more than 30,000 bullets for pistols secretly hidden in the truck, SANA added.
It said that Syrian authorities in the province of Homs seized in September a large quantity of weapons from a Lebanese truck.
The Lebanese army on Thursday found goods hidden in five small trucks for the purpose of smuggling them to Syria through the town of Deir al-Ashaer, the National News Agency reported.
NNA said a Lebanese army patrol made the discovery on the Kfarqouq-Yanta road in Rashaya.

every day there is more proof that some people in lebanon meddle in syria situation in more direct and vicious manner that syria meddled in lebanon since the end of civil war.
those people work for saudi extremist, mossad and cia and if lebanese and syrian inteligence find evidence who is it, they should be put in prison for good (yes march 14, everybody know it's you)

What syria did in lebanon is despicable, over so many years. Please check the facts of history. Theres evidence there. Match 14 or cia, mossad, smuggling weapons has no evidence and therefore statements that are baseless. With all due respect, have sympathy to the defenseless victims of syrian protestors. They are humans just like you and me.

i'm not justifying syrian actions in lebanon, but let's not forget that lebanese politicians are those (and guess who: now march 14) who invited them, gave them reason to enter and after all, it was our domestic failure to stop fighting that allowed them to be final arbiters in ending the civil war.
while nobody invited zionist entity in 1948, 1967, 1978 and other smaller invasions in 70-is and what bashir did was treason anyway.

@jabalamel I thought you guys were experts with guns. If you take a close look at the "confiscated" weapons, you can see that these are shotguns. Let us be clear, if you want to engage in attacks on an army in a street set up, a shotgun will do you no good.
Let us think back to the 8th of may when Amal, the SSNP, and Hezbollah invaded Beirut, what type of weaponry did they use? Assault rifles.
Finally: SERIOUSLY? SANA?? Who on Earth believes a dictatorship-owned news channel? The same guys who have been trying to make us believe that it is a CIA/Mossad conspiracy, and that nothing was going on in Syria?
