Man Wounded as Akkar Border Villages Come under Fire

A man was injured on Friday when several border towns in the northern Akkar district came under gunfire from the Syrian side of the border, the state-run National News Agency reported.

NNA said the car crashed after gunfire from the neighboring country reached the towns of Qashlaq, Hekr Jenine and the highway that links al-Abboudiyeh with Monjez.

The attack paralyzed traffic on the highway, the agency added.

The army later rescued the injured man and took him to a safer area.

Several border areas in the North have been frequently struck by cross-border fire and shelling.
