Syrian airplanes struck areas in Lebanon

Syrian jets launched air strikes on Friday on mountainous areas in Lebanon, activists and the Lebanese National Agency reported.

The jets struck areas in the hills of Kherbet Younine near Lebanon’s north-eastern town of Arsal.

A Lebanese security source in the area said the raid targeted what is believed to be hideouts of Syrian rebels.

“The Syrian aerial attacks which took place in the area of Younine also are aimed at cutting off any possible supply route to the area of Qalamoun which is adjacent to the Lebanese border,” the source said.
