Heavy fighting between the Syrian Army and Hezbollah alongside now also the Lebanese Army, is still ongoing in the Baalbek-Hermel Governorate of Northeastern Lebanon, with at least 10 soldiers of the Syrian Army having been killed so far as well as dozens of Hezbollah fighters and civilians in Lebanon, most as a result of rocket and artillery shelling. Syrian Army reinforcements, including tanks, artillery and personnel, have steadily arrived near Homs and the Syria-Lebanon Border throughout the day, as the fighting now threatens to escalate into a direct conflict between Lebanon and Syria.
