The army opened fire on Sunday at a vehicle in the outskirts of Arsal after it refused to comply with the orders of the checkpoint, the state-run National News Agency reported.
According to NNA, an army checkpoint in al-Reyan valley on the outskirts of the eastern border town opened fire at the pick-up truck after people in it refused to follow their requests.
The news agency said that the pick-up was hit with several shots.
Later on Sunday, the army arrested a group of Syrians who had arms and ammunition in their possession in the Arsal region, according to NNA.
They were referred to the relevant judicial authorities, NNA said.
It was not immediately clear whether the agency was referring to the same incident.
Syrian troops had seized on Sunday full control of the rebel bastion Yabrud in the strategic Qalamun region near the Lebanese border.
Media reports said that gunmen from Yabrud fled into neighboring Lebanon, in particular the town of Arsal.

Pathetic 4...all of you.
"Good job LAF, we are with you in the spirit as always." In spirit? Seems right for you Mystic.
"Oh well the LAF will be praying HA return soon & hopefully finish the job for them once & for all." Return from fighting fellow Muslims in another country.
"who fled the recently liberated Yabroud in entering Lebanese soil" Liberated? Syrian territory "liberated" using a Lebanese militia.
"god bless the LAF for their selfless sacrifices." Let's see the LAF secure the border throughout all of Lebanon, including the South and then I will say God bless the LAF.
When Hizthrowup can cross the border at any time they wish and transport weapons from Syria into Lebanon, I see no reason why other militias can't do the same. Don't just hand pick which terrorist organization the army will protect.
