Lebanese citizen Khaled al-Youssef was wounded on Sunday when he stepped on a landmine planted by the Syrian army on the Syrian-Lebanese border, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported.
Youssef, who suffered a severe leg injury according to NNA, was rushed by a Lebanese Red Cross ambulance to the Our Lady of Peace Hospital in the northern town of al-Qbayyat.
The agency said the landmine exploded on the Syrian side of the border with the northern Lebanese town of al-Kneisseh, Youssef’s hometown.
Faced with an anti-regime uprising, the Syrian army in November laced the Lebanese border with landmines in a bid to curb arms smuggling and to hamper army defectors and refugees from fleeing.
Syrian troops have also staged deadly incursions into border villages in Lebanon.

Key fact: Syrian side of the border. Get your poor, filthy, fanatic selves off our land. You get food and fuel from Syria for cheap, then you spit in the Syrians' faces by supporting the armed terrorists.
