Syrian warplanes carried out at least three airstrikes on the outskirts of Arsal in east Lebanon Friday, killing a 12-year-old boy and wounding five others, a security source told The Daily Star.
The Lebanese Army released a brief statement confirming that the Syrian air force attacked the area twice, at 8:55 and 10:15 a.m.
The source said the jets fired at least three missiles at the road linking the towns of Zamarani and Ajram, with one of them hitting a pickup truck carrying Syrian workers.
