Syria jets target Lebanon border
2013-03-19
[FRANCE24] Syrian air force jets fired four rockets at a remote section of the border with Leb on Monday, security sources said, four days after Damascus
...The capital of Iran's Syrian satrapy...
warned it may strike at Syrian rebels taking refuge across the frontier.

There were no immediate reports of casualties from the air strike near the Bekaa Valley town of Arsal, whose Sunni Moslem residents mainly support Syrian rebels fighting to topple Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Lord of the Baath...

Leb has a policy of "dissociation" from the two-year civil war in Syria but officials say they feel their country is increasingly at risk of being dragged into a conflict that the United Nations
...a formerly good idea gone bad...
says has killed 70,000 Syrians.

Syria's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that a "large number" of gunnies had crossed Leb's northern border into the Syrian town of Tel Kalakh last week.

"Syria expects the Lebanese side to prevent these armed terrorist groups from using the borders as a crossing point, because they target Syrian people and are violating Syrian illusory sovereignty," it said in a message to the Lebanese government, according to state media.

It said Syria's "patience is not unlimited", even though "Syrian forces have so far exercised restraint from striking at armed gangs inside Lebanese territory."
