Wow: Lebanese Armed Forces fire on Syrian warplanes

The Lebanese Armed Forces have fired on Syrian warplanes, which were likely firing on Syrian rebels who were escaping to Lebanon.

It was the first time since the outbreak of the Syria's conflict three years ago that the Lebanese military took action to prevent Syrian warplanes from violating its airspace.

Syrian forces have fired toward Lebanon in the past, trying to deter rebels from fleeing to the neighboring country or from sheltering in Lebanese border towns.

The Lebanese officials say the military opened anti-aircraft fire at two Syrian warplanes on Monday after the aircraft bombed a border area close to the eastern Lebanese town of Arsal.
Faster, faster.
