إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The remains of five corpses, likely to belong to Syrian soldiers, were found in the Jezzine town of Kfarhouna on Wednesday, reported Voice of Lebanon radio.
It said that the soldiers were probably killed during Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
It added that the remains were found when a de-mining company was sweeping the area for cluster bombs.
The radio reported that a Syrian unit that had set up post in that area at the time was the victim of Israeli airstrikes.
The concerned sides were informed of the attack when it happened, it explained.
Some remnants of the Lebanese civil war and the July 2006 war have been discovered recently.
On March 26, a safe belonging to late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat was found in Beirut’s southern suburbs.

Are you serious? What about all the people your army killed or the women they raped? All while your army was in collaboration with "israel". Are you really trying to portray yourself as some hero? How is occupied joulan doing? Did you try to liberate it yet or too busy killing your own instead of your zionist friends that you allegdly are enemies with?

You came to Lebanon to annex it to Syria. This is still your government's dream.

love4bashar: it's really disappointing to read what you have written. Not sure if it's lack of history knowledge, or lack of education. You re clearly brainwashed and not after justice. Syria is one of the main (perhaps the major reason) why Lebanon has been in constant difficulty. Syria has never been a neighbor ally, you have just exploited our country, raped our women, killed our braved soldiers (who where just defending their country), and most importantly stole everything you can. I am really curious to see your reply to that. (I can write pages and pages...)

The commander and another officer of the batallion that was stationed on the southern edge of Kfarhouneh heard of the approach of the Israelis from jezzine and from the south and decided to escape.
They requested from one of the inhabitants civilian closings and left him their personal weapons in exchange for giving them directions to an escape route through the eastern mountains towards the bekaa valley.
They were spotted by the israeli air force and killed. probably these remains belong to them and to other soldiers who decided to join them.

Did not fall YET. However, he is falling and will hit the ground (or below ground) sooner than you think.

The remains of the soldier were discovered by Mines Advisory Group during their humanitarian clearance of cluster bombs and landmines for the people of Lebanon. This soldier may still have remaining family who will be appreciative of knowing that Lebanon cared enough to repatriate his remains....another humanitarian gesture.

I can't speak on behalf of others. However, many of us have come to Lebanon to remove bombs, landmines and participate in the recovery of this wonderful country. We have done so by choice and have left our homes and families. We do our best to look at moving forward as we can not change the past.
