Two People Injured as Syrian Rockets Hit the Bekaa
2013-09-15
[An Nahar] Three rockets launched from across the border with Syria hit the Bekaa valley Saturday, a security source told Agence La Belle France Presse.

The Army Command confirmed the news in a released communique: "Three Syrian 107 mm Grad Rockets hit Baalbek District without causing any injuries."

"A military expert has inspected the scene and the necessary security measures were adopted in the area," it added.

The AFP said the rockets hit an area that lies between the villages of Labweh and Jabbureh, 30 kilometers (20 miles) north of the city of Baalbek.

"There were no casualties, but some trees in the area went up in flames," the security source told AFP.

However,
if you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning...
the state-run National News Agency had said two people were maimed when rockets landed on the Bekaa's al-Labweh plains on Saturday.

"Two people, Ali Hasan al-Mawla and a second whose family name is Khazaal, were maimed in the attack," it said, remarking that a rocket fell on an orchard that belongs to the Khazaal family while another landed in the outstrips of al-Labweh.

The third rocket landed on a road in Zboud, according to the same source.

"A huge fire erupted as a result in plains near Deir Jabbureh."

Saturday's is the latest in a string of cross-border rocket attacks that have escalated as Hizbullah's involvement in Syria's brutal conflict has increased.

Well down near Damascus, way back in the hills
Me and my old pappy had a hand in a still
We were rulin' and oppressin' 'til the sun went down
Then he'd load up a shell and he'd fire it around
Must be the Springtime season, sure is lots of sneezin'
Whshhhoooh... Alawite lightnin'

Chorus:
Well the "J" men, "O" men, 'Nited Nations, too
Searchin for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him,
But my pappy kept a-cookin'
Whshhhoooh... Alawite lightnin'

--- Instrumental ---

I asked my ol' pappy why he wrote on a shell
"Alawite lightnin'" 'stead of "Death to Israel"
He tossed it in the air and when it came back down
It wrecked about a half a little Shiite town
Lightnin' started flashin' and thunder started crashin'
Shhhoooh... Alawite lightnin'

Chorus:
Well the "J" men, "O" men, 'Nited Nations, too
Searchin for the place where he made his brew
They were looking, tryin' to book him,
But my pappy kept on cookin'
Whshhhoooh... Alawite lightnin'

A jug-eared city slicker with a little bitty prick
Came and tried to snow us with his Realpolitick
He gave his best shot but he missed and spun around
I heard him moaning as his polls hit the ground
It's all about survival, and we are genocidal
Whshhhoooh... Alawite lightnin'

Chorus:
Well the "J" men, "O" men, 'Nited Nations, too
Searchin for the place where he hid his brew
Teeth were gnashin', tryin' to catch him,
But my pappy's son is stashin'
Ululululululu ... Alawite lightnin'
