A wounded Syrian has transported to Lebanon through al-Qaa border crossing in the Bekaa region, reported the National News Agency on Thursday.

The Syrian national has been transferred to al-Salam Hospital in al-Qobeiyyat for treatment.

The operation was carried out in cooperation with the Red Cross and Lebanon General Security, it added.

Six heads of sheep were killed in the incident.

On September 24, a number of villages situated along the border with Syria, in Akkar in particular, were subject to heavy shooting from the Syrian side, creating a state of panic among the residents who were forced to escape the region to Wadi Khaled.

A number of infiltrations by the Syrian army have been reported in the past couple of months.
