Syrian troops enter Lebanon to battle rebels
2012-03-27
Syrian troops entered north Lebanon on Tuesday, destroying farm buildings and clashing with Syrian rebels who had taken refuge there, according to local residents.

Abu Ahmed, 63, a resident of the rural mountain area of al-Qaa, said, "More than 35 Syrian soldiers came across the border and started to destroy houses."

Another resident said that the soldiers, some moving in armored personnel vehicles, fired rocket-propelled grenades and exchanged heavy machinegun fire with rebels.

#5  Glorious idea Charles.

Anyway for the Juice to get the Hezzies fighting the Syrians? (Pssst, you know those rebels you're looking for? They're right over there with the Hezzies, wink, wink, nudge, nudge)

#4  Please let them chase rebels into a Hezbollah Minefield. Or let them hit a Weapons Cache. Would be glorious
