| 2013-12-06 |
| [An Nahar] Mortar shells fired from war-torn Syria hit overnight the outskirts of the towns of al-Dbabiyeh, al-Noura and Kuishra in in the northern district of Akkar, the state-run National News Agency reported on Thursday. According to NNA, the shelling didn't cause any casualties. The almost three-year long violence in Syria has increasingly spilled over into Leb, with cross-border shelling in the north and east. Mortars and shells from the Syrian side regularly crash in Leb, causing several casualties. But Lebanese forces have never fired back despite promises of retaliation. Syrian authorities had threatened to attack Lebanese territories if "terrorists" continue to infiltrate the country from Leb. |
