Lebanese opposition politicians are concerned that the town of Arsal on the northeastern border with Syria could be targeted in coming days, as a prelude to it being besieged and its residents displaced. This comes amid increased talk by the Syrian regime that Arsal is a stronghold and conduit for "terrorists," in reference to militants fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
Based on the observations of opposition politicians in Lebanon, the Syrian regime has been talking through its media outlets about a camp for "terrorists" and has specified its location. However, it did not target it when it bombed the suburbs of Arsal, instead targeting other sites within its environs.
