BAALBEK, Lebanon: Lebanon’s army used its anti-aircraft defence systems to fire at Syrian helicopters after they carried out a raid in Lebanese territory yesterday, a military source told AFP.
It was the first time the Lebanese army has responded to Syrian attacks inside Lebanese territory, which have multiplied as the conflict in Syria spills over the border.
“In accordance with the orders of the army command, anti-aircraft guns were fired in the direction of Syrian helicopters that bombed Khirbet Dawud near Arsal,” in the area near the Syrian border, the source told AFP. AFP
