Rockets from Syria hit Lebanon

Four rockets that were fired from Syria, hit Beirut’s suburbs in Lebanon on Sunday. Two of the rockets hit the suburb of Dahiye. Five people were injured by the first rocket, while the number of those injured by the second rocket is currently unknown. The last two rockets hit a residential area in al-Hermel, damaging property.

While the people responsible have not been identified, Syrian rebels have attacked al-Hermel before, stating that it is because of the support shown to the Syrian regime. The attacks have made the Lebanese concerned about ethnic conflict triggered within the country. “God willing, the events in Syria will not spill over into Lebanon, and we hope that we will have more men with more reason, because we just went over 40 years of civil war,” said Marwan Charbel, the caretaker interior minister of Lebanon.
