Rockets, Shells from Eastern Mountain Belt Hit Several Bekaa Areas
Rockets and shells fired from the Lebanese-Syrian border area landed in several regions in northern Bekaa on Friday.
"Three rockets fired from the Eastern Mountain Range (on the Lebanese-Syrian border) have landed in the hills between the towns of al-Ain and al-Fakiha in Baalbek, causing no casualties," state-run National News Agency reported in the evening.
At noon, NNA said said two artillery shells fell near a public school in the northern Bekaa town of al-Souwwaniyeh. The source of the fire was also the Eastern Mountain Range.
No one was injured in the incident.
Throughout the week, a number of rockets were fired from the Syrian side of the eastern mountain range against the Bekaa.
On Wednesday, five rockets were fired from the Syrian side of the border against the region of Brital.
A sixth rocket fell on the outskirts of the town of Maarboun.
On Tuesday, five rockets fired from the Lebanese-Syrian border landed on the outskirts of the Bekaa town of al-Bazzaliyeh and nearby areas.
A number of rockets had been fired from the Syrian side of the border against the Bekaa since Hizbullah's acknowledgment of its fighting in the Syrian conflict alongside the country's ruling regime.
The “Marwan Hadid Brigades” usually claims responsibility for such border attacks.
