HERMEL, Lebanon: A fresh Syrian airstrike hit the outskirts of Lebanon’s border town of Arsal Thursday morning, security sources told The Daily Star, adding that no casualties were reported.
The sources said the strike hit the area of Wadi Ajram, around five kilometers away from the border, and that it may have been a barrel bomb because of the size of the explosion.
The sources said the airstrike is likely targeting rebels fleeing the Qalamoun area in Syria where the Syrian government troops have taken control.
The outskirts of Arsal have been subject to dozens of Syrian airstrikes since the Syrian army, backed by Hezbollah, retook the rebel bastion Yabroud in Qalamoun.
