Security sources told Arabstoday on Saturday morning that Syrian shelling in Lebanon had reached "the furthest range ever" following an attack on a Christian town in the city of Baalbek. Several people were killed whilst houses were destroyed. Four missiles launched from Syria hit the Hezbollah village of Al-Nabi Shayth in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, as well as striking the area between Saraain al-Fawqa and Saraain al-Tahta near the Rayaq airport Rockets fired from Syria have repeatedly hit Lebanese territory, striking both Sunni areas that back the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, and strongholds of the Shiite Hezbollah movement, which supports his regime. Last week, a woman was killed when three mortar rounds fired from Syria struck near the eastern town of Hermel, a Hezbollah bastion in the Bekaa region. Despite an official position of neutrality, Lebanon has become increasingly embroiled in the conflict in neighbouring Syria. Hezbollah fighters have been fighting alongside government troops, particularly around the central town of Qusayr near the border, while Sunni communities have sent volunteers to fight alongside the rebels.
