Lebanese Fighters Killed in Syria as More Rockets Land in Hermel
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
At least one Hizbullah member was killed overnight in clashes with Syrian rebels on the Syrian side of the border with Lebanon, a security source told Agence France Presse on Sunday.
"Clashes took place between a group of FSA (Free Syrian Army) and a group of Hizbullah members coming from Baalbek in a border area between the outskirts of Baalbek and Damascus province in Syria," the source said.
"One member of Hizbullah was killed along with several rebels," he said, without specifying how many rebels died.
The clashes took place in a mountainous region inside Syria between the Baalbek area, a Hizbullah stronghold, and Syria's Damascus province, where the border is often not clearly demarcated.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights watchdog, which has a network of activists, doctors and lawyers on the ground in Syria, confirmed the clashes, but was unable to say how many people were killed.
Some reports have said there have been dozens of casualties on both sides and that the clashes had taken place inside Lebanese territories.
The clashes took place as least two rockets fired from Syria landed in Lebanon’s border area of Hermel on Sunday, security sources said.
The rockets hit the northeastern area of Hermel, a day after 18 rockets and mortars rounds from Syria slammed into the Baalbek region, the largest cross-border salvo to hit a Hizbullah stronghold since Syrian rebels threatened to retaliate for the group's armed support of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Hizbullah stepped up its involvement in the Syrian war in mid-May by joining a regime offensive against the rebel-held Syrian town of Qusayr, about 10 kilometers from Lebanon.
The town has since become one of the war's major military and political flashpoints.
Lebanese sources also reported the death of a Hizbullah fighter near Zabadani, northwest of Damascus.
And the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and family members said a Lebanese member of the al-Nusra Front was killed fighting Hizbullah members in the Qusayr area.

Escuse maroon, he isn't that smart to answer such a question. For him terrorist means muslim, not even muslim, terrorist means shiite!
They havent blown up a car?? Hahaha
Look at Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan! Every country they interveen in, they take the ressources and leave them to rot!
But they only killed thousands, u know, as long as they havent killed 3 in a car blast, oufff, saves them from being terrorist. On the plus side, they are christians & jews, so they cant be terrorist, they are after all, the chosen ones!
Maroun, i hope your children one day will be more open minded that you and all of ur sect defending the rich and spitting on the poor.

" lebanon is also training terrorists in north lebanon and in palestinian camps."
i guess you are talking about the extremist sunnis trained by hezbi in the bekaa and the palestinian training camps also under the control of hezbis... so yes you are right...
but funny how you always avoid acknowledging what aoun used to say... i understand it is quite a sensitive matter of embarassement for brainless people like FPMers.....

They're also transporting Sarin gas in Turkey, the rebels (Al-Nusra fraction): http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=95d_1369914320
Obviously, as there's little hope they can win this otherwise.

Somewhat.
Carla del Ponte(UN panel investigating in Syria member) said a while back that testimony gathered from UN affiliates & preliminary investigation point Sarin usage to rebels. This notion was rejected, partly because everyone wanted blame of any chemical attacks to fall on the Syrian government, and partly because rebels using Sarin gas would be terrible for the rebellion's image. More evidence has been collected since then, and it appears that some postmortem examinations show that the cause of death was the result of 'chemical attacks', without directly specifying which side used what chemical.
While I was skeptical about the usage of Sarin and its perpetrators, I am less skeptical now. Perhaps the Syrian government has used Sarin, but it's undeniable rebels have done so seeing as how they've been caught red-handed with 2Kg of the pertinent chemical.

FT, why do you want to enforce that Mustqbal and al Nusra are allies. Please gives us one evidence that Mustqbal and al Nusra are allies.

Rodzill this is the stupidest comment. HA working for us!!!!
1-HA is sending invitation tickets for nosra to come practice their hobby in Lebanon. {Bomb things and kill people)
2-HA is the second source of terrorism in Lebanon. The first one being faith el Islam et al.
3- I don't fucking care to be sold to the US as long as we have stability and economic growth for our people. You can shove ur Iranian pride where the sun doesn't shine.

So you prefer to suck up to the americans and eat well, live in wealth, than protecting your honour and religion and fight to live?
There's no common sense in what you say, you just proved to us that your a sell out, just like your leaders, they prefer the easy way out, take the money, kill your brothers, as long as the 100$ bills are available.
We are sorry we're not like you guys. We can't accept that immigrants from Europe came to Palestine in the early 90s, claimed its their land and slaughtered millions. We can't accept that. How about Sadam (May God NOT rest his soul), they killed him but in the same time, killed 40times more iraqis than him. We can't accept that.
We don't have the same goals in life.

"We can't accept that immigrants from Europe came to Palestine in the early 90s, claimed its their land and slaughtered millions. We can't accept that"

oh! and life is nice to enjoy so have fun! you seem so frustrated....

talk about paranoid and a perfect sheep,
anyhow, since you are so gung ho about Hizb Iran, why is it that they fly their flag over the Lebanese one? If they are so patriotic as you claim, the only flag they should be flying is the Lebanese one. Also, if they are so 'patriotic', why don't they follow the rules and laws of this country?
And hizb iran has been involved in bombings, assassination attempts, and you remember a little think in May 2008--stop kidding yourself on who they really are.
