Some 150 Syrians Flee Homs Village into North Lebanon
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Around 150 Syrians fleeing unrest in their hometowns arrived Friday in north Lebanon via an illegal border crossing, a cleric working with the displaced told Agence France Presse.
Sheikh Mustafa Hammoud, imam of a mosque in the border village of Kneissi, said the Syrians -- mainly women, children and the elderly -- had made their way from the village of al-Qussair overnight for fear of fresh unrest after Friday Muslim prayers.
"Some of the refugees settled with relatives in Lebanon, but most have been offered shelter in a school in the village of Mashta Hammoud" in the region of Akkar in north Lebanon, he said.
Thousands of Syrians have poured into north Lebanon since April, using illegal crossings generally used by smugglers.
Rights groups estimate more than 1,300 civilians and 300 security force personnel have been killed since protests against the rule of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad erupted mid-March. Thousands others have been arrested.
At least six protesters were killed Friday as rallies erupted across Syria after weekly Muslim prayers, activists said.

The Lebanese or the Syrian army , should not let these Sunnis Salafis fundamentalists enter Lebanon .. They should use all the military ways and means , that a war allows to use , when an ennemy tries to enter inside your borders , like these terrorists are doing with the help of al-mustakbal ..

You know, I agree you should change your signin, since you have forgotten how many Lebanese innosent citizens died on the hands of the Syrian regime since 1975, remember your fallen countrymen. Save the children and educate them so they will not kill in the name of religion.

Since Hariri's death in 2006, 700 Syrian laborers have been murdered by M14 killers in Lebanon and how many have been arrested? All of a sudden, M14 anti-Syrian racists are concerned about the Syrian people?

Le Phénicien is not Lebanese, rather AouAounese : A new -somehow speaking- species of Genetically Modified Micro-organisms (halfway between vegetables & shellfish). Hard to believe? Have a better look at N. Nicolas & G. Bassil. THEY'RE among us!!
