إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The Syrian army has erected earth mounds in areas on the northeastern border with Lebanon and dug trenches to prevent vehicles from crossing, Lebanese security sources said Thursday.

The sources told MTV that the operation began at the start of the week in the area of the Southern Great River all the way to the Wadi Khaled region in Akkar district.

The Syrian troops also introduced five-meter wide and 1.5 meter deep trenches to prevent vehicles from crossing the border, they said.

The operation included establishing surveillance posts and a barbed wire along the earth mounds, the sources added.

Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) also reported that the Syrian army urged the residents of the two Lebanese regions of al-Owaishat and Tal al-Farah to leave their homes within five days over its plans to transform the area into a military zone.

So..Syria wants to kick out Lebanese people from their homes in Lebanon? Or am I mistaken?

Was this an attempt to control the border? I'm confused? Maybe they don't want those salafists returning to Lebanon?

yes the aounis are busy posting against geagea and pretended not to see this info... see clearly how much the sovereignty of lebanon means to them when it comes to defending bashar and they back hezbis who defend some lebanese in syria but not the others it seems as if some were more lebanese than the others....

Hezbollah is too busy,and only cares for its own existence and Assad and Iran. Lebanon is where they are now because Lebanon's too weak to kick them out. Don't worry they got new enemies who are'nt scared to drive them out Don't you want Lebanon to be free?

The last time I heard of Lebanese villagers being commanded to abandon their villages prior to those villages being razed to the ground, it was Israel doing the commanding and Hizb-Allah fighting them off. So I guess we should sleep easy tonight, because we know the glorious Hizb are going to defend Lebanon from Baschar now, because of course they are the REAL protectors of Lebanon.

What is this?
Syria is invading Lebanon while our "resistance" weapons are carrying their civil war? Security council. Quick.
