Rockets Fired from Syria Hit Brital, Taybeh Valley

W300

Two rockets fired from Syrian territory hit on Tuesday the eastern region of Bekaa, a security source told Agence France Presse.

"Two rockets landed in the Brital countryside and the nearby Taybeh valley," the source said on condition of anonymity. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damages.

Meanwhile, the state-run National News Agency said the detonation noise heard in the region resulted from the explosion of a stone-crushing plant, denying that rockets were fired from Syria.

Tension along the Syrian-Lebanese border has soared in recent weeks, ever since Hizbullah aided the Damascus regime of President Bashar Assad to take down insurgent bastion Qusayr in central Syria.

Frequent fire has hit Hizbullah bastions in eastern Lebanon, while the Syrian army has for several months fired on areas that back the anti-Assad revolt.

Lebanon has officially maintained a policy of neutrality in Syria's conflict, but Hizbullah is playing a growing role in the fighting in the strife-torn country.

The country is sharply divided over the conflict in Syria.

The March 14 movement supports the revolt against Assad, while Hizbullah and its allies back the Syrian president's forces.

Aoun said earlier today: Hizbollah was right to take the fight inside Syria and not inside Lebanon....therefore he supported their move.
and we cry such as in 2006 when the devil Israel attacks our infrastructure because of the same idiot ideology into spreading Iran's orders to our neighbors.

Half the truth is as bad as a lie. Everytime you mentionQaeda/Nusra and the likes you need to also mention Hezb/Basij/Welayat Elfaqih. Then your post will have credibility. Unless if you are Alawi or Iranian, then your posts as is makes some sense.
