Violence in Syria Spills Into Lebanon

Hezbollah is alive and well in Lebanon so the fact that violence from Syria has spilled in should come as no surprise to anyone.

In Lebanon, two people died and 24 were wounded in fierce clashes between Sunnis hostile to Syria’s regime and Alawites who support it, a security official said.

“A Sunni and an Alawite were killed and 24 people were wounded in clashes that continued since Friday between people from the neighbourhoods of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tebbaneh” in the northern city of Tripoli, he told AFP.

Ten of the wounded were Lebanese soldiers, including a sergeant in critical condition.

The two sides fired guns and rocket-propelled grenades at each other in the bloodiest clashes since June, when six people died in the wake of demonstrations against Syria’s government.

Sunni-majority Tripoli has in the past few years been the scene of intense clashes between Sunni supporters of the anti-Syrian opposition and Alawites loyal to a Hezbollah-led alliance backed by Iran and Syria.

Assad hails from the Alawite community, an offshoot of the Shia sect. Syrian state media blamed “terrorists” for Friday’s double car bomb attacks on security posts in Aleppo.

Just imagine if you were the leaders in Israel today as you watch the violence, unrest and mayhem spread all across the lands on your borders....and KNOW that those regimes are filled with people who want nothing more than to destroy your country and kill all your people.

These are some serious times for Israel...and for all of us.
