Syrian Army Fires on Lebanese Security Patrol on Akkar Border

The Syrian army on Thursday opened fire on a vehicle for the Lebanese joint border security force that was staging a patrol in the Wadi Khaled border town of al-Nabi Berri, state-run National News Agency reported.

The incident did not cause any casualties although it created an uproar in the region, NNA said.

The vehicle was taken to a nearby base belonging to the joint force, the agency added.

Earlier on Thursday, Future TV said “Hizbullah members clashed with a patrol for the Lebanese joint border security force in the Hawik-al-Nabi Berri area."

"Hizbullah encircled a patrol for the Lebanese joint border security force, but one of its members managed to reach Akroum to seek its residents' assistance," it added.
