Syria Strikes Lebanon After Blaming Hezbollah For Killing Troops (Photos)
Syria’s military fired rockets and shells at Lebanon on Sunday after accusing Iran-backed Hezbollah of executing three Syrian army personnel, sparking unusual tensions between the two war-ravaged neighbors.
The Lebanese militant group abducted the army personnel in an ambush on the joint border west of Syria’s Homs before killing them in Lebanon, Syrian state-run news agency Sana reported, citing a statement from the defense ministry. The ministry described the move as a “dangerous escalation” by Hezbollah, saying it would take all necessary measures to respond.
