Cautious Calm in Wadi Khaled after Syrian Troops Kill 3 Lebanese

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

A cautious calm prevailed in the Wadi Khaled area of the northern district of Akkar on Wednesday, a day after Syrian troops entered Lebanese territories and killed three men.

Kasser Hussein al-Zeit and his brother Ahmed, who hail from the Syrian town of Heit, and their cousin Maher Ali al-Zeit, who resides in Majdal in Wadi Khaled, were killed on Tuesday when the Syrian army intelligence members reached the outskirts of al-Mqaibleh and opened fire on their vehicle, An Nahar daily said.

Sources in the border area had earlier told the newspaper that the men died in a cross border fire around 9:00 pm Tuesday.

The Lebanese army immediately took strong security measures and pulled the bodies from the Mercedes 300 they were riding, An Nahar said.

The three men were laid to rest on Wednesday.

A medical official told Agence France Presse that a fourth person was wounded in the shooting but managed to get out of the car.

On December 2, dozens of terrified families fled their homes in Wadi Khaled after shooting from the Syrian side of the border wounded two men and a woman.

In recent months, thousands of people have fled into Lebanon from border districts of Syria such as Tal Kalakh as troops have resorted to mounting violence to crush anti-regime protests raging in the neighboring country since March.

What the f**** the syrian army is doing inside our territories?
Where the f*** is our government who handed the country to Assad the Murdered and Ahmadinajad the Murderer.
Where the f*** is the so called resistance to defend the country and the people?
Again the zionist traitors and hypocrits of Syria and Hizbullah are joining hands in the destruction of Lebanon and killing f civilians.

formidilosus:
Arabs don't need Israel to kill each other.
Arabs doing it with greater success.
Look at Syria, how is slaughtering his own people.
Look at Libya how many were killed.
Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Sudan.
Continuing with Muslim countries as Afganistan, Pakistan, Somali etc.
So leave us alone we have our problems with your "brothers" the Palestinian whom also are not the children of mother Teresa as you know.

None is more confused than u jabal... The syrian government never acted against Israel since 1973. That is called 3ameel, traitor or zionist. Hizbullah is destroying Lebanon from the inside withhisthugs, militias,weapons, propaganda, smuggling operations, drugs dealing, money laundering and illegitimate instititions and that again is called traitor, 3ameel and zionist.
