Syrian Troops Kill Lebanese Man Near Arsal
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A Lebanese man was killed and five others were injured after Syrian troops opened fire on them near the eastern border town of Arsal at dawn Tuesday.
Abdul Ghani al-Jebbawi was shot dead by Syrian soldiers while he was hunting for rabbits at a farm on the Lebanese-Syrian border, Arsal municipal chief Ali al-Hujairi said.
At least five other people were wounded in the attack, the National News Agency reported. It identified three of them as Nayef and Abdullah Audeh, and Hassan al-Jebbawi.
Al-Hujairi told Agence France Presse that the men came under attack inside the Lebanese territories after being “ambushed” by the Syrian troops.
Al-Jebbawi’s body was taken to his hometown of Arsal where he will be laid to rest on Tuesday.
If this was the Israeli army who had shot the Lebanese man it would have had a different response from the militia HA and the followers of the militia and also the dormant government.
hunting for rabbits? on the effing border? at such time? who the heck does that?
or is it just an excuse for the fact that he was carrying a gun? i bet he was hunting rabbits with a m16 and RPG on his shoulder
Ya Mowaten! If it was me I would NOT go hunting near the boarder at a time like this... But could you please enlighten us on where you got your info that these guys were really not hunting? I mean you seem really sure that they have the weapons you say they have. Ya what ever!!!
The fact that a Lebanese citizen was gunned down by a foreign army on Lebanese soil does not seem to bother you at all. And you call yourselves patriots?
Jabal, on another post, just a few minutes ago you posted this
"Tayyéb layko? what if it turns out that those pilgrims were hezbollah operatives? What is Hariri supposed to do in this case?"
so, for you, pilgrims travelling with their wives in buses, because they are shia, you assume they were operatives and it's okay that they get abducted, probably killed or tortured or both by now. it doesnt bother you.
however an armed man, holding a gun on a highly tense border, supposedly "hunting for rabbits" deserves the full benefit of the doubt?
why the double standard? why when all indicates they are pilgrims you still want to believe they are operatives, and when all indicates it's an operative attacking syria from the border, you want to assume he's a bunny hunter?
Mowaten on a previous post you said : " the men who were shot at were smuggling cigarettes, i.e. they were crossing the border conducting illegal activities which means they were not shot in lebanese territory but in syrian one." so it goes the same way for your pilgrims whether they are or not HA members but this guy was shot inside the borders like Al-Jadeed journalist as an exemple ... so stfu and stop talking about double standards and to refresh your gold fish memory here is the link for what you said : http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/41561-lebanese-dead-another-hurt-held-in-ambush-by-syrian-army#comment-75247
and what indicates in the article that he is an operative attacking syria ? the shotgun he is using to hunt rabbits ? and how did you prove that they are all pilgrims ? they gave names and positions of those members you have better proofs mowateh ?
Wlek ya mowaten sma3né shouai: I DONT KNOW if those people are HA operatives or not. But IF THEY WERE, then they are basically foreign combatants on foreign territory. They are at the mercy of the whoever is in control of that country. This is not to be compared with Syrian troops killing our citizen inside of our country. The Lebanese "Govermnent" will probably not do anything about this. Low lives.
slash, i made the case clear: repeating one last time in case you didnt get it:
on one hand you have an armed person at a tense border that has been used for cross-border raids and smuggling, and it's not even sure he was on lebanese territory
on the other you have unarmed pilgrims in buses with their wives, passing legally through customs and getting kidnapped by mercenaries
in both cases nothing is CERTAIN, but common sense has it that the armed person is more likely to be involved than pilgrims with their wives
either way, we all know hariri was never going to help them, it was just funny to see his saudi master giving him orders and him obeying
You are a disagrace mowaten, take off this flag loser you still defend this regime while it is killing lebanese inside the lebanese borders! You are a traitor and should be shot on a wall loser !
nothing new here, you still think you're in position to decide who is lebanese and who is not, and you still think that only syria-haters are allowed to be lebanese.
i'll pass on your death threats, but just remind you that only a few days ago you were preaching "respect of all living creatures" (lol) and giving lessons on how nobody should get shot at by the army because only courts can issue death sentences.
good bye slash, never a pleasure to talk to you.
That is such an LF thing to say "you should be shot on a wall". Sadly, many were shot in this way, its truly a bad thing to say as it brings back bad memories to those who had relatives killed in this way by the LF. Shameful militia mentality. Im glad the LF do not have the strength of hezballah, even though im not m8 because if they/you did, then God help us all. Hezballah has not even done 1 % of what the LF would have.
mowaten
each day you confirm you are a sectarian through your comments, and you twist anything in a way that serves your beliefs.
why not take tings the way they are and respect human life for a change?
or are you that twisted to only support the actions of your non lebanese masters?
yep to those who respects it , but you dont loser , the day that you ll condemn all these agressions on the lebanese citizens and soil by your sister state i'll stop talking to you in this way ! who cares if they were hunting rabbets or rain deers or elephants , they have been SHOT by a FOREIGN group inside the LEBANESE BORDERS, put it in yout thick skull loser ! the same way you are condemning israelis for shoting on civilians inside the lebanese borders do it for syrians ! and the same goes for me never a pleasure to talk to you traitor !
No lebanese88 i am refering to Antoun Saade the SSNP founder, becasue very likely Mowaten was an SSNP before FPM mouda appears ;). And what did they do Lebanese88 , LF as bad compared to others ? who slain Damour ? zahlei ? christians in the mountains ? who was kidnapping lebanese killing them and saying that it was LF and Kataeb and lately they found out after their withdrawl the mass graves in their camps and their military bases ? it was LF no ? stop twisting things like you want ! maybe you had relatives shot by LF in the war because they were siding with syrians and PLO the same as me i have relatives killed by syrian and PLO in the war ! so it goes for you 2 !
Same goes for me what? Im not the one saying people should be shot against a wall. Your LF attacked basicly everyone actually, not only those who sided with the syrians/PLO. The LF themselves sided with the syrians at one point when they were murdering other lebanese. But that is not the issue here. The issue is about using such irresponsible terms that remind people of such harsh days. Besides, regardless of who one sides with, nobody has the right to murder civilians or threaten people with murder. Only those that cause physical harm should be dealt with with such force. Someone who is not harming anyone physicly, such as a naharnet commentor is not a justified target so leave the militia mentality somewhere else please.
hahaha bandoul, yes i am darth vader and you're a little ewok.
how did LF manage to line up people on walls and shoot them without me during the uncivil war they created is still a mystery, for everybody knows they were angels.
Guys you all just proved each other wrong...although you are on different sides of the camp, you all have the same hateful mentality that is destroying the country...if you only remember that we are all Lebanese and that we should be protecting each other than anyone else then this country would have been much better off....unfortunately 90% of Lebanese think like you!
yep sure, whatever, but only one camps has illegal weapons pointed at our head and forcing us against our will.
forcing you to what little ewok?live your life, nobody is interfering with it besides the leaders you follow and who use you like a toothpick to irritate a resistance group.
those you follow dream of seeing Hezbollah disarmed not for your sake, because if you had half a brain you would know that hezbollah is protecting lebanon, and your life, freedom and well-being.
but to make way for their personal interests, they need to eradicate those who could oppose them. read some more about the civil war, don't rely just on your uncle's personal and subjective view of what happened, and you'll see that some announced many pure and glorious intentions but all they did was massacre, kill all competitors including those in their own camps, racket the locals in areas they controlled, took control of ports to impose their own taxes and smuggle drugs etc... today they say they want to give you "sovereignty" and "freedom" and you run like a little ewoke
i would laugh if all this wasnt so sad.
@mowaten , Let us consider that all what you say about LF is true , tell me Hezballa is not doing the same ? the drug smuggling, weapons , diamonds in Africa ? what you say applies on your divine Hezbb and saints , who is stealing cars ? it was known ya haboub and still a fact that every tiem you lose your car you ll find it in Dahyei ! and when you advise people to read history ya a3ma , do it yourself and what you said about LF was true when Hbeika was in charge ... ;)
What about all the people in houses and villages on the Syrian border. Are they no longer entitled to leave their homes and work their land because the Syrian Army might shoot them dead?
The entire story: A Lebanese man got killed in Lebanese territory by foreign soldiers who infiltrated Lebanon.
This is acceptable to some people here. They deserve the same fate.
hy guys I intented to visit lebanon this summer but the situation got extremly dangerous right ? Are there any dangers for me as a tourist ?
what makes you say that mike. the syrian,israeli, tripoli, beirut thing is an everyday occurrance here in sunny libnan. You can go clubbing, visit the mountains, beaches, historical places without any problems, seriously you might be more in danger of getting run over by a polititans entourage than be in any danger from these things
second time M8 supporters still defending the syrian army and accusing the lebanese ... we see clearly where their loyalty goes to...!
why didn t they say that the shia who crossed syria by bus at this time knowing the dangers in syria got what they deserved too?
funny how they say that lebanese killed inside lebanon it s their fault!!!
Mouwate and FT ,assuming he was carrying a M16 and An RPG does this gives the Syrians the right to shoot him inside the lebanese territory??
Walla ma 3am efham ,how can a lebanese sink as low as you and Ft and defend a regime that slaughtered and keep slaughtering thousands of lebanese,Bas try to convince me.
BTW Where are abtal el jeish el lebneneh,yesterday they shot a guy in the head for failing to stop at a checkpoint,now they are doing nothing NADA when lebanese ppl are being shot at the borders.
Not saying that Israel are better than Syria,but what would be your opinion Mouwate if an israeli soldier killed a lebanese man who was carrying an M16 inside the lebanon???
Be honest please and give me an answer capullo.
you ask me to be honest and call me capullo? what kind of lowlife disrespectful prick are you?
there is no way you can say with any certainty the guy with a weapon was in lebanese territory, especially the border being unclearly demarcated.
but in any case when resistance fighter fight israel, and many lost their lives doing so, you dont see them whining or crying about it. when they are fighter and in an armed operation they know the risks they are taking and taking them willingly. we salute their sacrifice but we dont come whining about it. when planes bomb civilians however, that's another story.
another violation from the light headed syrian regime.these killings are preplaned by assad entourage for one reason and one reason only, draging lebanon into their war. but hopefully we wont fall for it
Why is this even news? people get killed daily by the Syrian border. Its just normal brotherly love that exists in our relationship with Syria. In retrospect what is the difference between this and other killings done in Lebanon without the jurisprudence of justice?
The main problem is that HA still has arms and we must all accept the fact that HA will never surrender his arms le2anno kayeno hour sle7o. Without his arms HA is nothing. So pls all u guys should do like me leave this country cz its not for us anymore. HA and syria wants to control and dominate the country, we dont have arms we are fighting with no arms by only spirits so soon we will loose because they want to dominate lebanon.
Mouwate,I called you capullo cause you are one,respect has to be earned.
You do not expect me to respect someone who defends a regime that slaughtered thousands of lebanese.I do understand your hatred for the LF and Harriri family,maybe you have had a bad experience with them ,it does not concern me ,what worries me ya Mouwate IE:Capullo is your constant defense of the Syrian regime.
And about your Hizbollah whining ,Short memory you have,you forgot how you were begging Qatar (your enemy at present) for help ,how you used to queue up lal 2i3ashe and for places to stay ,but anyway you wont see any wrongdoing in that,el Sh7ade is in your culture.
You know what i mean Capullo ??
By the way Capullo ,The Al JAdeed camera man had only a Cam on him not an M16 and RPG .
