| Roadside Bomb against Hezbollah in Leb claims first casualties |
| 2013-07-17 |
| A roadside bomb exploded Tuesday beside a convoy of SUVs believed to be carrying members of Hezbollah, reportedly killing one man and wounding two others. The attack on a main road in eastern Lebanon is the latest in a slew of recent incidents targeting Hezbollah, marking the fulfillment of a long warned-about retaliation for its battlefield support of the Syrian regime. It was the fourth roadside bomb attack in five weeks to target suspected Hezbollah vehicles in the Bekaa Valley. The bomb exploded mid-afternoon as three SUVs passed along the highway between Masnaa, a town on the Lebanon-Syria border, and Majdal Anjar, a town known to harbor Sunni radicals, according to local reports. One report claimed that the targeted SUV came under gunfire after the bomb exploded. Although the size of the bomb is unknown, it is believed to be the first to cause casualties since the roadside attacks began last month. Although no one has claimed responsibility, it was almost certainly carried out by Sunni militants in retribution for the Lebanese Shiite militant groupÂ’s help crushing the Syrian opposition forces. |
