Syrian Military Aircraft Fly over Bekaa Border
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Syrian helicopters on Sunday hovered over the outskirts of the Bekaa border town of Arsal before returning to the Syrian airspace, Future News TV reported.
For its part, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said Syrian military aircraft flew over Syria’s border with Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. It did not elaborate.
On Tuesday, Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn warned that al-Qaida members have entered Lebanon through Arsal “under the guise of being members of the Syrian opposition,” noting that he will raise the issue in cabinet.
During a meeting at his office with a delegation of high-ranking Lebanese army officers, Ghosn said: “We have information that certain operations are taking place at some illegal border crossings, especially in Arsal, where weapons and some al-Qaida terrorist elements are entering (the country) under the guise of being members of the Syrian opposition.”
Since the eruption of the uprising against the Syrian regime on March 15, scores of Syrians have fled to Lebanon through illegal border crossings, while the Syrian authorities have justified their frequent violations of the Lebanese borders under the pretext of pursuing “armed terrorist gangs.”

Lebanon is not afraid of this childish crap. No doubt the Hezz traitors will not answer. They only shoot at Lebanese helicopters.
Soon enough this taunting from ASSad will finish when he is dead.

@Tony: The liar won't fly that high as his death will be worse than Gaddafi due to the fact that his people have suffered on the hands of his father for tens of yrs and he continued on the same path like father like son.

Can the fishers in Tripoli go near the international waters before they get shot at by the Syrian Navy? this is a fact for 30 yrs.
I can bet that Arsal is a non-shiite/alaweet town which is why we will accuse the Mossad in it very shortly on national TV.

@shab: LOL.... what resistance my fellow citizen??? They are busy getting rich, "reforming and changing", and "resisting" in the alley ways of Beirut over a parking space. As to our esteemed government, it will be interesting to see, if subsequent to this blatant violation of Lebanese airspace it will file a formal complaint with the Security Council.

of course, that type of retarded comments are expected from zionist information war department do.
a syrian helicopter that made small turn over lebanese air while looking for smugglers of weapons is doing what is common interest of our allied countries.

Even when Saad Hariri was in power, Syria was recognized as a "friendly" country while Israel was recognized as an "enemy". This is the difference between Syrian and Zionist aircraft. So stop being stupid!

thanks sweating demon for your very polite and respectful answer... it seems that you took lessons in rabieh. each time you feel cornered you answer with insults...
typical reaction of M8 supporters who can t hold a line of arguments without any insults, typical of the weak people who resort to insults straight away because they feel weak....
oh by the way when it suits you say that the bashar regime is stronger than ever and here you present them as being in difficulty, you d better choose!
so i don t think that a bunch of islamists in a little village of lebanon is going to overthrow bashar alone! it clearly shows you that all this is just a play set up by syria and their puppets here to throw the blame on someone to avoid saying that they are trembling for their a...!
you see how weak your arguments are...

Oh my God, Get over the fact that Lebanon is a weak country , whether it's Israel or Syria, or it's Sri Lanka, having reconnaissance flights , We can do nothing about it, United Nations won't recognize these violations. We are a weak country ,and we will be like that forever. Even European powerful countries, have CIA offices operating, US air bases, and you are saying to have a free Lebanon ? there's not even 1 single anti air missile in Lebanon, to protect the air space, what are you all talking about? Kil 3omro lebnen heke, and will remain like this. Just live your lives bil arguile, and Go to Jemayze, or Geant, and don't even think about these things ! Merrcy Christmas from all. Rou7o 3aydo bala ma tfakro.
