At least three people have been killed and nine injured in northern Lebanon in shelling from across the Syrian border, local officials and residents say.
The attacks took place in the Wadi Khaled region, where
both Syrian armed rebels and civilians have taken refuge from the violence at
home.
There have recently been clashes between armed men on the
Lebanese side and the Syrian military.
There are fears the Syrian conflict will spread to
neighbouring countries.
'Panic and fear'
The first artillery shells from across the border landed
on farm buildings early on Saturday, killing one woman, local residents say.
Two more people were killed in the second strike just
hours later.
Children are believed to be among the injured, with the
Lebanese National News agency reporting that local residents were fleeing their
villages "in a state of panic and fear ".
It was not immediately clear whether the victims were
Lebanese or Syrian nationals and whether the buildings were hit deliberately or
caught in crossfire during a battle between the Syrian army and opposition
fighters, the BBC's Richard Colebourn in Beirut reports.
The border area has become increasingly volatile in
recent weeks, and fears are now growing that Lebanon could be sucked into the
16-month Syrian conflict.
Like Syria's other neighbours - Turkey, Iraq and Jordan -
Lebanon has absorbed thousands of refugees fleeing from the violence.
