Syrian air raid kills 4 near Lebanese border town
2014-07-05
[ARABNEWS] At least four people were killed and seven maimed in overnight air raids by Syrian forces on mountains and valleys near the Lebanese town of Arsal, security sources said on Friday, the latest spillover of violence into the border area.

The five air raids struck close to Arsal, an area sympathetic to the mostly Moslem rebels fighting to topple Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor. If he'd stuck with it he'd have had a good practice by now...
A police official said the Arclight airstrikes occurred early Friday, some 7 km within Lebanese territory in the northeast near the town of Arsal. He said one impacted near a jeep, killing the farmer. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, because he wasn't allowed to speak to the media.

Al-Manar, a television station affiliated with the Lebanese group Hezbollah, said the strikes targeted gunnies.

Violence has regularly hit areas around Arsal. In January rocket fire from Syria killed at least seven people in the town and maimed 15.
