Foreign Ministry: News on Syrian Warplanes Firing Bombs inside Lebanon Is Untrue

An official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry on Tuesday denied news circulated by some Lebanese, Arab and international media outlets claiming that Syrian warplanes fired bombs into the Lebanese territories.

The source affirmed in a statement that this news is “false and completely baseless”, slamming “some countries which have adopted hostile policies towards Syria through arming and funding the armed terrorist groups for having promoted this false news.”

While stressing the falseness of this news, “the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry stresses its respect for the Lebanese sovereignty and keenness on the security and stability of friendly Lebanon,” the source added.
