إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Lebanese army seized on Thursday goods hidden in five small trucks for the purpose of smuggling them to Syria through the town of Deir al-Ashaer, the National News Agency reported.

NNA said a Lebanese army patrol made the discovery on the Kfarqouq-Yanta road in Rashaya.

The military is inspecting the goods, it said.

Last week, a judicial source told As Safir daily that a Lebanese and two Syrians have admitted to trying to smuggle arms to Syria to support anti-regime protestors in the neighboring country.

The newspaper said the army intelligence thwarted the plot after it raided a neighborhood of the Beirut district of Tariq al-Jdideh and arrested Lebanese Ibrahim M. and Syrians Assef F. and Bassel Q.

The army seized in the raid Rocket Propelled Grenades, hand grenades, Kalashnikov rifles, night-vision goggles and Inerga-type RPGs, As Safir added.

AhAh! Funny... The Lebanese-Syrian border is like a living cell: with a semi-permeable membrane. Everything passes one way and nothing the other way. The comparison with the cell could even go further: if the weapons are too big, they are blocked on one way, but not the other way...
That is a joke. The whole thing is a joke. I do not know if i wanna cry or laugh

I wonder why the army has been so ineffective in stopping smuggling from Syria into Lebanon and has suddenly become so good at this.

Those weapons were borrowed from the Hezb, at the request of their Syrian masters. Then a fake informant called the army and said: "hey guys look what I found"! NIce try guys, Basho and his dudes are running short of ideas, so anything would do to accuse anyone, on smuggling weapons to Syria.
Let's see what the next scene will be.

because there is no smuggling from syria.
smuggling means that army doesn't know.

weapons that come from syria to our glorious resistance is with the knowledge of the army.

Nothing is glorious about your so-called "resistance".
You know it, I know it, the whole world knows it.
