Syria shelled Lebanese border towns

Syria's defense ministry on Sunday accused Lebanon's Hezbollah of abducting three soldiers to Lebanon and killing them there, state media reported, as Hezbollah denied any involvement in clashes.

Lebanon's state news agency NNA reported that rockets fired from Syrian territory had landed in the Lebanese village of Qasr near the border, resulting in the death of a child.

According to the channel, after the intensification of the bombings, the population of the border regions is being evacuated towards the city of Hermel in northeastern Lebanon.
