Shell Hits W. Bekaa as Syrian Army Clashes with Militants on Border
A shell fired from the Syrian side of the border landed between the western Bekaa towns of al-Manara and al-Suwairi on Wednesday, amid a border clash between the Syrian army and militants.
Lebanon's state-run National News Agency said the shell hit a cement plant between the two towns, causing material damage.
It also reported that a clash erupted when the Syrian army detected an armed group that tried to infiltrate Syrian territory from the “al-Masnaa-al-Suwairi-Jdeidet Yabous area.”
“It fell into a Syrian army ambush and a clash ensued during which flares were fired,” NNA said.
LBCI television meanwhile said Syrian forces clashed with an armed group “in the Eastern Mountain Range on the Lebanese-Syrian border after the group tried to sneak into Syria.”
