Syria Says 'Terrorist Infiltration' from Lebanon Foiled

Syrian authorities have prevented an “armed terrorist group” from infiltrating Syria through the Ouyoun al-Shara-Halat crossing point in Talkalakh which borders northern Lebanon, Syria’s state-run news agency SANA reported on Tuesday.

Quoting an official source, SANA said three members of the group were killed and several others wounded in a clash with Syrian security forces.

“One member of the law-enforcement forces was wounded and taken to al-Bassel Hospital in Tartous for treatment,” the news agency added.

Earlier on Monday, Syrian authorities prevented an “armed terrorist group” from entering Syria from Jordan, according to SANA.
