Airborne Regiment Sets up Bases in al-Qaa, Ras Baalbek after New Attack
2014-01-03
[An Nahar] The Lebanese Army's Airborne Regiment set up on Thursday new bases in eastern Leb's al-Qaa and Ras Baalbek regions, the state-run National News Agency reported.

The erection of the bases came after the Syrian army continued to attack areas lying on the northeastern border with Leb. The bases are aimed at stopping the infiltration of gunnies from Syria to Leb, NNA said.

These areas have been witnessing heavy battles between Syrian government troops and rebels in the past three days.

Syrian jets carried out an Arclight airstrike on Wednesday on the outskirts of the eastern border town of Arsal. Ten people were maimed in the Arclight airstrike, eyewitnesses told the state-run National News Agency.

Arsal is on the other side of Syria's rugged Qalamoun region where the government has been on the offensive for weeks, capturing a number of towns and villages in the area.

Later Wednesday evening, the area was hit again, this time with rockets, NNA said. No injuries were reported.

I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near, to the stars away from here
