"Army bulldozers have been working for the past three days to close all roads and passages that lead to Syria near the border towns of Arsal and al-Qaa," the NNA detailed. "The troops erected barricades at the crossings for this purpose."

On Friday, the army seized and detonated three 107-millimeter Grad rockets ...Soviet-developed 122-mm rockets, usually launched from trucks. Newer versions are reported to have a range of up to 30 km.... in the Bekaa's al-Qaa region. The rockets were prepared to be launched towards the Hermel region. |
