Syrian Shells Hit Deep Inside Lebanese Territory in Akkar, 2 Injured
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syrian shells hit at dawn Thursday an area in the northern district of Akkar that lies six kilometers away from the Lebanese-Syrian border, injuring two people, the National News Agency reported.
NNA said this was the first time that shells hit an area relatively far from Lebanon’s northern border.
Seven shells landed near the towns of al-Bireh and Kherbet Daoud, damaging several houses and injuring a woman identified as Mariam al-Zohbi and a man called Tayseer Merheb, Kherbet Daoud’s municipal chief, Mahmoud Abdul Majid, told NNA.
“This is very dangerous and the Lebanese state should assume its responsibilities regarding … the violations,” he said.
The incident caused panic among the residents who moved to other areas and returned to their houses in the morning when the shelling stopped.
On Wednesday night, around 12 shells landed on the outskirts of the border towns of Hekr Jneen, Qashlaq, Ammar al-Baykat, Eastern Dbabiyeh and al-Noura that lie near the Kabir River.

Take it easy, it is not that simple. We are assuming it is the Syrian army but it could be the opposition retaliating to handing in 2 opposition to the regime yesterday or could a 3rd party like the Palestinian group that are lying low now. They want to drag Lebanon into mess, We just have to be smart enough in dealing with these king incident. We have no air power to backup any response.

It is the Syrian army as they have the control of that border and no opposition has the firepower (yet) to reach at least 6 km. Keep in mind the distance from within Syria for the opposition is even greater to surpass the Syrian army let alone way into Lebanon.

Neither our government nor our army care... they are both so affiliated to the Syrian regime that they don't dare lifting a finger! As a mater of fact, they own their positions to their good friend Bashar...
By the way... has Bashar ever apologised.....CRIMINAL!

Guys, it is pretty clear I am an army supporter/loyalist and that I am not well liked for it on this forum but all am saying is are we just going to accuse the army of all this chips heik without documentation of facts? So, we're just going to dump on them without knowing the internals of how it is being commanded by the Party of Terror and Intimidation aka M8 chips government? I mean isn't the core idea of an army is to follow its orders? Yalla give me a million thumbs down for debating.

If this government does not issue clear orders to the army to defend the citizens in the North, I advocate the citizens take up arms and defend themselves from the enemy just as much as the people of the south have done and still do. What a difference between the Jordanian army and our army.... The jordanian army has strict orders to engage the criminal gangs of Assad and silence the source of fire. It is happening almost daily on the Jordanian-Syrian border!

As Assad goes down in Syria, his Regime's hamfisted manner of conduct toward towns and villages in Lebanon along his border will bring down this M8 government in Lebanon as well.
The M8 Government of Nasrallah/Berri/Aoun/Frangieh/Wahab/SSNP are all acolytes of Mr. Assad's family and so they will not interfer with Assad's attempts to survive in Syria, even if those attempts mean violation of Lebanese sovereignty, destruction of Lebanese homes and killing of Lebanese people, because this M8 Rogues Gallery's survival in Lebanon depends upon Assad's survival in Syria. These guys cannot cut their umbilical cord to Assad and so when he goes they will go with him.
And good riddance to them all.

I recall last week a article whereby Miqati stated that the Lebanese Army will defend our borders at all costs.....and I said "OK....let's see what happens next time the Syrian make their move". BS! This government post masked (silent) coup by HA removing Hariri is in total control of the SCUMS HA! This is why nothing is being done to defend the country.....let alone assassination attempts covered up (telecom data restricted). HA has to be destroyed once and for all.
