Syrian military planes on Saturday launched strikes against militant groups in the northeastern Lebanese town of Arsal, leaving several people dead and injured behind.
An Anadolu Agency reporter in the area said the Syrian military planes had targeted concentrations of militants in the area.
The reporter added that some of the injured victims of the strikes were immediately taken to a field hospital in the town for treatment.
There have been no official comments from either the Syrian government or the Lebanese government on the strikes.
Fierce clashes erupted earlier this month in Arsal between the Lebanese army and militant groups affiliated with the Syrian opposition.
Around 17 Lebanese troops were killed in the clashes and several others wounded. The militants also captured several Lebanese troops.
More than 106,000 Syrians have fled the violence back in their country and arrived in Arsal to live with its original 30,000 Lebanese residents.
