Syrian troops entered Lebanon and shot dead a Syrian national

Share:

Syrian troops entered Lebanese territory on Thursday and shot dead a Syrian national living in a remote border area of the eastern Bekaa region, a security official told AFP.

“At around 2:30pm Beirut time (1130 GMT), in an area called Saaba, next to Arsal, Syrian troops entered Lebanese territory and opened fire on farmer Ali al-Khatib, a Syrian national,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

“His body is still on site and a probe is under way.”

He said Khatib was married to a Lebanese and lived in the area, where the border is not clearly delineated.

A government official, also speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the incident and said it was unclear why Khatib was targeted or how he was killed.

“The area in question is very remote and right along the border,” he said.

Earlier this week, Syrian tanks entered the same region in a brief incursion that raised fears of the revolt against the regime in Damascus spilling over into Lebanon.

An estimated 5,000 Syrians have sought refuge in Lebanon in recent months, among them deserting soldiers.

Prime Minister Najib Mikati told AFP earlier Tuesday his government was committed to providing shelter for the refugees.

    “…. where the border is not clearly delineated.”
    Well it’s about time it was then … seems to be marked out fairly well in the south. Where are the surveyors??? Are they all in a boat trying to figure out where the lines in the ocean-bottom are? Or maybe looking for places to plant occasional hydro-poles?
    Might as well kill a Lebanese farmer then and make the Lebanese terrified as well, it seems. So What if he was born in Syria? Did they steal his goats too, like happened to the shepherd-boy in the south earlier this year?
    Might as well have the LAF spread out and standing around on the lines as anywhere else …

    These dogs wont last too long, these daily stories are compounding and soon the pressure is going to blow back in their faces. Spineless weasels and the two faced traitors have shown themslves, we all know who they are and they know who they are. There is NO escaping the inevitable, the long arm of justice will reach into every bunker/cave  and strangel these animals like the filthy dogs they are.

    Where is the OHS (Occupational Health and Safety) Officer to report the soldier standing on the edge of the tuck while the tuck is moving??! Is it actually moving? Do they know that it needs diesel to run??

    Surprised to see that they didn’t fill the camyoon with Lebanese khobz on their way back to their desert.
