The army opened fire overnight Thursday at a group of Syrians in a minibus, who were trying to infiltrate the country from the border crossing of Ain Ata in the Bekaa southwest of Rashaya.

According to the National News Agency, armed clashes erupted between the army and a group of Syrians in a minibus as they tried to illegally cross into Lebanon from Ain Ata.

The minibus, which reportedly contained ten armed Syrians and three Lebanese men, didn't respond to stop warnings, prompting the army to open fire at it.

NNA reported that one Syrian was killed and two others were wounded as the remaining passengers were arrested.

The driver of the minibus hails from the town of al-Rafid in the Bekaa valley and was identified by his initials M. A.

The news agency said that the detainees were referred to the army intelligence, adding that the wounded were transferred to Rashaya's public hospital.

LBCI television later reported that the army arrested a terrorist cell comprising six Syrians in the western Bekaa town of al-Suwairi.

It identified one of them as Mohammed Barakat, who is wanted on several charges, including combating the army.

GOOD , kill them all
Every Lebanese should back the army and internal security service and the only weapon should be with them . BUT , if any of these dirty creatures tries to come into our country and hurt any Lebanese , they should be eliminated and not arrested straight away ......why put them in prison and let the government and people pay for their stay ?!

One can only support the Army in this case, not 2 entities, hypocrisy at it's finest yet again. God bless ONLY THE ARMY.
