SANA: Arms, Narcotics, SIM Cards Seized on Lebanon-Syria Border
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربيةSyrian authorities on Saturday seized “quantities of weapons and over 1,000 narcotic tablets near Sweid bridge on the Syrian-Lebanese border and in both cities of al-Qusayr and Tal Kalakh in Homs” near the border with Lebanon, Syria’s state-run news agency SANA reported Sunday.
“The weapons included PKM (machineguns), 14 anti-tank shells, 14 RPGs and various rifles,” SANA said.
Authorities also seized “Alfa-type Lebanese (mobile phone) SIM cards,” the news agency added.
Thousands of Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon as the state cracks down on a popular revolt against the Assad regime, now in its tenth month.
The Syrian army last month laced the Lebanese border with landmines in a bid to curb arms smuggling and hampering army defectors and refugees from fleeing.
Syrian troops have also staged deadly incursions into border villages in neighboring Lebanon, the last of which was on Tuesday, when three Lebanese men were killed by Syrian gunfire in Wadi Khaled.
The United Nations estimated earlier this month that more than 5,000 people have been killed in the crackdown since protests against the Assad regime began in mid-March.
here's how it all works:
weapons are headed to the head of the opposition "peaceful protesters" groups around Syria.
Narcotics are later used to drug whoever will be on the ground firing these weapons, to help make them feel invincible and up their Morales in a narcotic delusional sense after being brainwashed by their leaders.
and finally the sim cards are used to make further contact with their lebanese suppliers and masters mainly from the sunni sect in and around the lebanese borders.
and then when they are caught and killed doing all this suddenly they are martyrs and Lebanon must deploy forces to protect these "innocent Civilian" casualties which the evil evil bad Syrian regime is commiting!
Lebanese Authorities should be able to track the seized “Alfa-type Lebanese (mobile phone) SIM cards" particularly who's name these are registered in. Ooops I forgot there won;t be any traces - remember Mossad has infiltrated Alfa. What a joke. Assad should wipe this filth from his country once and for all.
This is a BS story from the filthy Hezz drug selling, rape of Beirut war department. This stuff could easily have come through Turkey, Jordan, or Syria. The two players of Syria and the Hezz run gov't of Lebanon have no credibility on the world stage.
The recent Muallem video and the ASSad interview confirm that anything they "uncover" was set up by them.
hahaha! after al qaeda which appeared out of the blue (the M8 gvt confirmed it wasn t true!!!) now this other lie just to throw the blame on lebanese! what a joke! what next? let s wait and see the new lies coming! oh! i guess a nuclear bomb found on the border ready to go to damascus!
The story is made in the syrian capital.All arms in the hand of hizbollah came from syria.So,i don,t believe those criminals.They want to divert the world attention on what is going on in their country.
Fawaz is right I mean how can anyone with a half a brain doubt the Syrian government truthful evidence especially after Mr Moualem showed us that the video footage of that Egyptian rape and murder suspect that was lynched in South Lebanon in 2010 was in reality a Syrian security forces member lynched by terrorists in 2011 Syrian, unlike the Fawaz, Habal and co one gotta be an idiot not to believe such irrefutable evidence, right?
if u look at the arms, they are from the soviet era sent originally by the assad family to bilad el arz, for a reason... and as honest lebanese, we returning it back to sender.
This is a fresh photo of the weapons seized courtesy of SANA and the Syria department of truthiness... really

Yeah right! Most probably planted by the Iranian terrorist Group Hezb Ebola themselves! DDuhh! Trying to frame the free Lebanese (as they have been doing for the past thirty odd years) in order to give the criminal Syrian regime a pretext for further violation of Lebanese sovereignty, the fact that these weapons are outdated speaks volumes, they were obviously planted in "plain sight" to be found and not fit to be used as claimed by the Assad criminal regime and its full of Sh*t mouthpiece "SANA".
Of course not that these silly well known games the Assad Stalinist regime and its partner in Crime the Iranian regime and their cronies in Lebanon have been playing for more than 36 years now in trying to undermine the rise of the sovereign free economically vibrant democratic modern state of Lebanon at Peace, this will certainly NOT change the fate of either criminal regime for both their fates are sealed, all these games will probably be one of humdred more Catlysts that would expedite the end as both regimes accelerate voluntarily towards the abyss...
Gaby
no SANA is not a news org. Urgit news or LCC are legitimate news gathering organization,
lol, give me a break
only the filthy zionist information war department can try to somehow dispute what is clear
the filthy zionist information war department claimed for months that there is no smuggling weapons from lebanon to syria.
now that whole world knows there is smuggling, now they say it's ok.
in 5 years when truth about their involvemnt comes out, they will say it's classified and they can't talk about it.
