Several rockets and shells fell Tuesday on the Arsal border area of Khirbet Daoud during clashes inside Syrian territory.
Four artillery shells struck the area at 3:00 p.m., causing no casualties, Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
Meanwhile, MTV quoted a Lebanese security source as saying that “14 rockets fired from Syria's Qusayr landed in an agricultural area between Arsal's Mrah and Khirbet Daoud."
For its part, Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said "four artillery shells landed in the Mrah al-Sheikh area north of Khirbet Daoud."
The Bekaa town of Arsal comes under frequent shelling from the Syrian side of the border, the last of which was on November 23 when it was targeted by a Syrian airstrike.
Hermel and others areas in the Bekaa have also been targeted by rockets fired from Syria in recent months and most attacks were claimed by Syrian rebels.
