The shells hit the border town of Amayer, in Lebanon's Wady Khaled region,
at 2 a.m. local time, the army's information directorate said in a statement.

Lebanese army said military forces in the area had been boosted.
"The army units deployed in the region have been enhanced and put
on high alert, necessary field measures have been taken to treat any ...
violations by any side in the appropriate measures," the statement
said.
While Beirut is playing down the idea of regular clashes along the border,
rebels do often cross into Lebanon and there have been several incidents
as President Bashar al-Assad’s forces pursue them.
There have been frequent clashes between pro and anti Assad Lebanese in
the capital and in other areas.
Syrian forces bombarded towns in the northern province of Aleppo on Saturday,
July 7, 2012, as the conflict spilled into neighbouring Lebanon and opposition
representatives in France welcomed the defection of a general who was
close to President Bashar al-Assad.
Syrian rebels and opposition politicians inside the country and abroad
also continued to gather information about the defection of Brigadier
General Manaf Tlas, a commander in the Republican Guard and close friend
of Assad who reportedly fled the country last week.
