Libanon

Und die libanesische Armee scheint sich schon selbstbewusster zu zeigen, und es zeigt sich auch schon, in welche zukünftige "Richtung" es gehen könnte...

Lebanese troops fire at Syrian warplanes

Lebanese troops have fired at Syrian warplanes violating its airspace, for what is thought to be the first time since the conflict in Syria began. Lebanon's National News Agency said the army had responded to a raid on Khirbet Daoud, near Arsal in the Bekaa Valley. Syrian government forces have fired into Lebanon in the past, targeting rebels sheltering over the border.

The Lebanese authorities had until now not responded militarily, hoping they would not be dragged into the war. [...] The north-eastern town has been flooded with refugees since the Syrian military launched an offensive in the Qalamoun mountains last month.
