Syria air force strikes Lebanon frontier town: source

Syria's air force launched two strikes on the outskirts of Lebanon's frontier town of Arsal today, causing no casualties, a Lebanese security source said.
The raid was the latest in a string of cross-border strikes against Arsal. On January 17, shells rained down on the town, killing eight people, including five children.
A December air raid prompted the Lebanese army to fire back with anti-aircraft guns.
Arsal's residents support the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad, and the town has become home to thousands of Syrians who have fled the fighting.
Once dominated by Damascus militarily and politically, multi-sectarian Lebanon is deeply divided over the Syrian war, with Sunnis backing the Sunni-led revolt and Shiites largely supporting the Assad regime.

The divisions have widened since Lebanon's Shiite movement Hezbollah acknowledged last May that it was sending fighters into Syria to support Assad's troops.
