Pregnant Woman Injured as 2 Rockets Hit Akkar Border Town
Two rockets from the Syrian side of the border landed at dawn Friday on a town in the northern district of Akkar, injuring a pregnant woman and causing material damage.
The state-run National News Agency said that Dalia Assi was wounded from shrapnel when one of the rockets hit the center of the town of al-Kawashra around 3:00 am.
A car and several houses were also damaged, it said.
The agency did not specify where the second rocket landed. But the attack caused panic among residents, it said.
Lebanese border towns and villages come under continuous rocket attack and shelling from the other side of the border, the result of fighting between Syrian government troops and rebels seeking to topple President Bashar Assad.
