Katyusha Fired from Syria Hits al-Qasr as Shells Strike Akkar Towns
A Katyusha rocket fired from Syrian territory landed in the middle of the Hermel town of al-Qasr in the Bekaa on Sunday, state-run National News Agency reported.
The agency did not say whether or not the shelling caused any casualties or damage.
“A rocket fired from the positions of the armed opposition in Syria's Qusayr hit the Lebanese town of al-Qasr,” the Beirut-based, pan-Arab television al-Mayadeen said.
Meanwhile, OTV said two shells fired by Syrian rebels landed in al-Qasr.
Later on Sunday, NNA said six shells fired from Syria landed on the Lebanese bank of the Grand River between the Akkar towns of al-Dabbabiyeh and al-Noura.
On April 14, two people were killed and five others were wounded when rockets fired from Syria hit al-Qasr and and the nearby town of Hawsh al-Sayyed Ali in the Hermel District.
The two-year long conflict in Syria has increasingly spilled over into Lebanon, with cross-border shelling in the north and east.
