إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Shells fired from Syria rained down Tuesday evening on several border towns in the Akkar district, damaging some houses, as gunshots targeted a highway inside Lebanon.
“Shells landed in the outskirts of the towns of al-Noura, Qashlaq and Amar al-Baikat during clashes on the Syrian side of the border,” Lebanon's National News Agency reported.
Gunshots also targeted the highway that links al-Abboudiyeh to the town of Menjez.
Later on Tuesday, shelling again targeted Amar al-Baikat's outskirts and the peripheries of the town of Ain Tinta, according to NNA.
“A shell landed in the Sharbila forest near the Family Restaurant in the Akkar town of Deir Adawiya,” the agency said, adding that shells had also fell near a cafe in the town of al-Douseh.
Meanwhile, “shrapnel damaged the house of Khaled Abdul Hamid in the town of Amar al-Baikat.”
On Sunday, two houses were badly damaged by shells fired from Syria on the Akkar town of al-Uwaynat as Syrian warplanes reportedly violated the Lebanese airspace over several towns in the region.
A Syrian man was killed while two Lebanese citizens were injured in shelling that targeted the town of Mashta Hammoud on Friday.
Also on Friday, a gunfire exchange took place between troops and gunmen on the border.
Since the Syrian crisis broke out in March 2011, border areas in northern and eastern Lebanon have been struck by frequent cross-border shelling and clashes which have left several people dead and scores other wounded.

I wish all Lebanese were patriotic as you.
If you decide to go that way you will be labelled as an enemy of the state & deemed to be a terrorist takfiri

the problem is not with the Syrians, rather it is with the Lebanese army!
if the army was defending our territory, I bet you the Syrians would not dare to aggress us.

Well where is the LAF?
Isn't there job to protect the borders?
Or are they doing the polices job which in turn the police are just merely traffic police.
Why are we backwards?

If there is evidence that terrorist are these areas how come Syrian army knows about it & not LAF?
Don't you think the LAF would have gone in to get these so called terrorists?
The towns are asking for LAF to be present, to protect them from in discriminate attacks by Syrian side.
Buy unfortunately they are not present to protect the borders and or not present to catcher the illusionary ghostly terrorist figures.....

"Taste of your old medicine"?
It's ok for Syrian army to bomb Christian Muslim and Alawite towns in Akkar?
I never mentioned HA OR Shia.
Why are you painting akkar with one brush?
Can you elaborate who exactly is dragging us into a war with Syria?
Who in akkar are harbouring terrorists?
It's seems all of akkar is suspect since every town is being hit indiscriminately!
What are you saying nasrallah is lying then?
Are you Lebanese?
You are surely not patriot Lebanese? It seems your an imposter!

Sinbad there are no terrorists in the north or south.
It's merely a political tool to fool the masses.

How shameful that the Lebansese just sit there and take the abuse. I am ashamed to have a government like this... what a joke.

Why is the Foreign Minister of Lebanon not sending in a complaint to the UN Security Council?
Is it because his masters in Damascus, and not the Prime Minister of the SOVEREIGN Republic of Lebanon, dictate his activities to him?
