Lebanese Fisherman Injured after Coming under Fire from Syrian Boat

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

A Syrian boat entered Lebanese territorial waters and opened fire on a Lebanese fishing boat off the northern coast of Arida, injuring a fisherman, the state-run National News Agency reported Friday.

NNA identified the fisherman as Khaled Ahmed al-Ali. Media reports said he was injured in the leg.

In a similar incident last year, a Lebanese teen was killed and his uncle injured when the Syrian navy opened fire on them.

The gunmen then forced the two fishermen along with a second uncle into Syria, where the boy died of his wounds.

The other two were later released.

Where is our spineless government? Where is Mansour the poor excuse for a human?

It is shameful that this government has zero care for its own blood, its own people, the lebanese people are the fabric of this nation, if you refuse to defend them why stay in government?

Well thank you FT I stand corrected, but still his life was in danger, let me ask you what if this happened on the southern border? Hezballah will protest and it has the right too. We want to see the same thing happen with the Syrians

What ever comes from Syrian is ok for M8. Whether they bomb, shoot, injure, kill, restrict Lebanon from using its water (nahr el Kabir and oronte), plan terrorist attacks, kidnbap and jail lebanese, ....

Why am I not surprised? As usual more foreigners not having any respect for Lebanon...
