Syrian helicopter bombs outskirts of Arsal near border

Share:

syrian helicopterA Syrian helicopter bombed on Wednesday the outskirts of the Lebanese Beqaa town of Arsal, National News Agency reported.

Voice of Lebanon (93.3) reported that the Syrian helicopter chased gunmen fleeing the Yabroud area towards Lebanon.

Lebanon’s border regions have witnessed numerous rocket attacks and other security incidents, as fighting continues between rebel and regime troops across the border in Syria.

Over the weekend, Syrian regime troops backed by Hezbollah fighters took over the town of Yabroud, east of Arsal, sparking a mass exodus of Syrian refugees into the Lebanese border town and raising fears militants would be among the wave of people coming to Arsal.

      Not supporting Syrian incursions, but how do you feel about daily violations by Israeli warplanes?

        Well it seems like you and HA are only protesting when Israel fly over Lebanon. While many times these flights didn’t cause any death. Syria been flying over Arsal and other areas and nobody complains. so answer me first on the Syrian incursions than I answer on the Israelis.. to be honest I hope Israel, Sryia, Iran and Hezbollah and Muslims extremits all go at it at the same time in hoping they wipe each other outs.. that’s how i feel about them.. Does that really answer your question anyway?

          I do protest when Israel violates Lebanese airspace. Syria is attacking Syrian rebels and foreign jihadis escaping the battlefield. They aren’t flying into Lebanon and killing Lebanese citizens. The LAF should be assisting them in capturing these guys, instead of letting them sneak into Lebanon for treatment and a quick breather.

          And yes you did answer my question, thanks.

            what about last year when they killed a journalist from Al Jadeed who happened to be a Shiites? what about innocent children getting killed in Arsal? did you think about them? what can Arsal residents do when they the LAF is having open borders without their protections? what about LAF arresting sunnis in Tripoli but no alwiites is getting arrested for shooting and even killing a soldier about a year ago?
            HA should not be going around setting up roadblocks.. last year 4 soldiers were killed in Arsal because HA were there first and killed a jihadist according to them. Then the residents/his relatives surrounded HA members were they called for backup from LAF. when LAF started shooting at the residents they in return shot back. if HA want respect then they should not be in Syria in the first place? why are they protecting a regime that stomped on your head and every Lebanese for 30 years and you are here justfying their shooting at Arsal.. how dare you..

            It’s a terrible thing when any innocent lives are lost. Arsal residents can start by refusing to harbor fighters escaping across the border, then if they continue to come the Arsal residents can arrest the fighters and turn them in to the LAF. I would think that would be a good start.

            I agree that HA shouldn’t be going around setting up roadblocks, the LAF should be setting up roadblocks. Especially when Arsal and the border areas are used as staging grounds to commit crimes against innocent Lebanese civilians.

            Your stories of what happened in Arsal and whats happening in Tripoli are pretty lop sided to say the least.

            Why is HA protecting the Syrian regime? I’m not exactly sure, but it probably has to do with protecting its allies.

            “if HA want respect then they should not be in Syria in the first place?”, you still would find a reason not to respect them, but its your choice and thats fine. Nobody is forcing you to respect or support them.

            “how dare you..”, haha, my memory is bad, but not that bad Nagy. I remember you proudly stating how much you respected and adored the terrorist ASSir. Him and his cowardly men killed over a dozen brave Lebanese soldiers and you praised him. How dare YOU?

            Very simple and many Lebanese refusing Hezbollah involves them in the war.. can we do it? can you honestly say we can stop them? Its the job the LAF to secure our borders period. Its their job to ensure stability and security in Lebanon. You and I know they only pull the trigger when Hezbollah wants them too. I do not wish to fight israel and protect the Syrian regime. Yes LAF can do many things if they’re allowed too. LAF should be the one with heavy weapons and technology. why Iran and Syria trained Hezbollah during the 30 years of occupations.. or people like you considered them touristasssssssss. lol.
            Yes I am still admire Assir because and with all honesty I do not think he has anything to do with LAF soldiers being killed. It was a setup by Hezbollah and if Assir wanted to go against LAF he never showed it during the time until the last battle. Assir has more dignity in his shoes then all M8 combined.

    This is the result of why the army has not closed the borders in arsal and chase out HA, prepare for phase 2 : syrias annexation of lebanon with the help of HA dictated behind the scenes by the fence sitters filled with hatred who are hoping for a miracle expecting lebanon to come back to them with a dissolved army.

      If this was Israel territory, Tattoo would say :Da Plane Boss: Da Plane”.. isssssss GONE..
      But Da Plane belong to our sister Syria which is okay because according to M8 they can kill Lebanese as long as they’re not Shiites or orange tweeties.. Da Plane is a coward when it comes to Israel. Da Plane is coward when its protecting even its own national interest.. oh wait till Nassrallah develops his own Mig so he can protect Da sheeps in the South.

        Do you really think it would be a smart move to retaliate to Israeli provocations in the midst of a brutal civil war?

        Poor military strategy and stupid.

          Well western observers were saying that Hezbollah was behind the bomb trap. so we can only speculate if that’s true or not. But Hezbollah is itching to ignite multiple fronts since they feel arrogant enough to beat AL Nusra and FSA. Yes its poor military strategy and so was the 2006 war created by Nassrallah or rather Iran. do you know that Iran instigated that war only to see if their enhanced weapons works on Israeli war machine. It was nothing less and nothing more than that..

            “do you know that Iran instigated that war only to see if their enhanced weapons works on Israeli war machine”, you know this how?
            I personally doubt HA is itching to ignite multiple fronts, they have their hands full in Syria and Lebanon. Its more like Israel is trying to bate HA into attacking so they have a reason to go in for a full on assault. Its a perfect time for Israel to make its move and a terrible time for HA to attack Israel.

            In 2005 Hezbollah attempted the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers but failed to hit the Murkava tanks among other things they failed. Iran asked Hezbollah to videotape the operations and they asked to review it in details. Then they found an enhancements to hit the tanks and were successful in 2006. Otherwise how else they were able to kill 8 soldiers and kidnapped rather dead soldiers too. Hezbollah were warned in 2006 to return the soldiers but HA refused after many warnings by Israel that it will invade if they’re not released. Many times you see HA videotaping the operations and its bot for Morale and also reviewing what they can do better. No doubt HA has been and still a very formidable enemy of Israel. And all thanks to Iran for becoming that way for sure.. If HA is not itching to create wars on multiple fronts, then why did they plant the bomb.. what is the point then here?

    Report: leaked documents show Hezbollah gave assurances to Israel!!! The head of Shiite Lebanese movement Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, sent an “indirect message” to Israel last year saying his country’s southern border is “the safest place in the world,” Asharq al-Awsat newspaper reported Wednesday.

    The London-based daily cited leaked documents it obtained, detailing the full transcript of a meeting between Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mokdad and his Russian counterpart Mikhail Bogdanov on May 23, 2013. According to the leaked documents, Bogdanov passed on Nasrallah’s reassurances to Israel during the meeting.In the meeting, the Russian official told his Syrian counterpart that he had a three-hour midnight meeting with Hassan Nasrallah in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

    “You can tell the Israelis that Lebanon’s southern borders are the safest place in the world because all of our attention is focused on what is happening in Syria,” Bogdanov told Mokdad, referring to what Nasrallah had told him. Bogdanov added that Hezbollah “does not harbor any intention of taking any action against Israel.”
    Hezbushaitan is the Israeli border guard as the former Secretary General Subhi Tufaeli said.

          Of course, on the other side of the ‘great divide’ …. Kurds are fleeing their homes … need to run from these ‘lovelies’ who give the open threats well enough….

          “The jihadists’ stronghold is in Raqa’s provincial capital of the same name, the only capital to fall from regime hands.
          ISIL has been consolidating its hold in the province and its capital since earlier this year when it was forced to withdraw from other parts of rebel-held territory when moderate and Islamist opposition groups turned against it.
          The group, which began in neighbouring Iraq, is accused by the opposition of carrying out abuses against civilians and rival rebels and imposing its harsh interpretation of Islam by force.”

      What HA is saying for now is that they won’t attack Israel since they are busy attacking the Syrian opposition. HA cannot deal with two war fronts at the same time. However, once they finish in Syria and Lebanon, they will turn their attention to Israel and attack it then.

    When Ahmad bin Hanbal was imprisoned, one of the prison guards came to him and asked him:

    “O Abu ‘Abdullah! The hadith that is narrated regarding the oppressors and those that aid them – is it authentic?”

    He said: “Yes.”

    The prison guard then said: “So, I am considered to be an aide of the oppressors?”

    Ahmad replied: “No. The aides of the oppressors are those that comb your hair, wash your clothes, prepare your meals, and buy and sell from you. As for you, you are one of the oppressors themselves.”

    (‘Manaqib al-Imam Ahmad’ by Ibn al-Jawzi p. 397)

        This is Good news from Syria for over the last 48-72 hours, where rebels have freed 300-400 captives in Gharz prison in Dar’a. Dar’a is the seat of the revolution, where it all began 3 years and five days ago. The operation apparently spanned more than 50 days of fighting and was led by the Omari Battalion…..could you please explain why HA supports Assad, since you support them….

      Which proves that ‘Mujahideen’, and Talibanies too, of course, are simply all killers, crooks, thieves … generally speaking the misfits of ALL societies … and that all that ‘Allah/God-speak’ is simply propaganda trying to justify their screwed-up brains.

    A Lebanese and a Syrian shepherd were killed on Friday after Syrian forces opened fire on them on the outskirts of neighboring towns in the eastern Bekaa Valley.

    Yasser Mohammed Yassine, a 44-year-old Lebanese, and his Syrian relative, Ahmed Nader, from the town of Kfaryabous were killed on the outskirts of Anjar and Majdal Anjar, a security source said.

    The two men own a small farm in the area, the source said.

    According to media reports and after the shooting, the town’s residents gathered to head to the area where they were killed in coordination with the security forces to take their bodies to a local hospital.
