1 Dead, Another Injured in Syrian Gunfire in Wadi Khaled
One person was killed and another injured on Thursday when they came under Syrian gunfire while they were on the Lebanese side of al-Kabir river in the northern area of Wadi Khaled.
The state-run National News Agency said the two Syrians came under attack by automatic rifles.
It identified them as Khaled Qowaisem and Mohammed Hussein.
A Lebanese army unit transported them to a hospital in the region. But Qowaisem succumbed to his injuries, the agency added.
Similar attacks have taken place in the area since the uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad erupted in 2011 and turned into a violent war between his troops and rebels seeking to topple him.
They have either targeted Lebanese or Syrians trying to infiltrate Lebanon through al-Kabir river.
