Mortar rounds fired from the Syrian side of the border targeted a number of Lebanese towns in the vicinity of the al-Masharfeh area in the northern region of Wadi Khaled on Sunday evening, LBC television reported.
On Tuesday, Syrian troops staged a brief incursion into Lebanese territory amid fierce clashes with rebel forces, local official and residents said.
The official, who requested anonymity, told Agence France Presse the troops briefly entered the Lebanese side of Masharii al-Qaa, a region that sits along the border between the two countries.
He said one house in the area was hit by mortar shells and gunfire. Its residents had fled shortly before, he added
Another local resident said several houses were hit.
Another local official in the Lebanese town of al-Qaa, Mansour Saad, told AFP that Syrian troops were apparently chasing rebels trying to flee to Lebanon.
The border area is used by smugglers and by Syrians fleeing the violence in their country to Lebanon.
Lebanon and Syria share a 330-kilometer border but have yet to agree on official demarcation.

Its ok right mr Mansour? its friendly fire from sisterly Syria, like he would say: From syria with love... Too bad some patriotic lebanese feel that Israel AND Syria are violating Lebanon's sovereignety, and others feel only Israel is, but release karam an israeli spy in only 9 month... What contradictions, what a disgusting governement, what a garbage level of politics and patriotism. M8 is no better than M14. M14 were bad in ruling because they didnt have the guts to stand in front of the Hezb , but M8 are worse in rule because it is governed by all ennemies of the lebanese entity starting with the SSNP ministers in the governement ( Jreissati, Layoun, Abboud, Mansour ) amazing...
