Syrian Jets Shell Tunnel Leading to Wadi Hmeid in Arsal

W300

Syrian fighter jets shelled overnight the al-Malahi region neat the Bekaa region of Arsal, reported Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) on Sunday.

It said that the shelling targeted a tunnel leading to the Wadi Hmeid region.

The tunnel measures 400 meters, it added without disclosing further details.

The town of Arsal lies 12 kilometers from the border with Syria and has been used as a conduit for weapons and rebels to enter Syria, while also serving as a refuge for people fleeing the conflict in the neighboring country.

The region witnessed clashes in August between the army and Islamist militants from Syria prompted by the arrest of a member of the al-Qaida-linked al-Nusra Front.

Yes thank you brotherly neighbour Syria, for your defence of Lebanese borders, which our own armies hands are bound by the M14 traitors.

Yeah so if the US started carrying out airstrikes against takfiri in Lebanon you'd complain that they're violating Lebanese sovereignty.

Yeah so when did Syria secure official permission from the Lebanese government for its airstrikes on Arsal?

@FT, as always you show your bivalence. You are ok with Syrian violating Lebanon sovereignty but not ok if the US do so even though both would attack IS. Some explanation of your point of view would be welcome

On the same register, we should thank Israel for protecting our border from any IS aggression.

nothing to do with sunnis or shias, it's takfiris versus everyone, including sunnis, shias, christians, atheists, yazidis etc...

Hezbollah sees no progressive future for leb to become a civilized state - only war. Since 2005 investments in the country have plummeted, and in 2010 again they plummeted because of Hezb abusing their in-proportionate power against m14. unemployment is on the rise because nobody wants to invest in a country where an extremist militia with an agenda to destroy the country is stronger than the national army. Assad gave amnesty to the senior members of da3esh in Sednaya. They now call themselves the "sednaya graduates". It's a dangerous game playing with fire. you'll get burned. Hezbollah have been more destructive to lebanese society than ISIS, so save your breath.
