The developments appeared to be the first instance of diplomatic friction between the two neighbours -- who share a fraught history -- since Islamist-led rebels topped longtime Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad last month.
But a Lebanese General Security official told AFP Friday that they were “surprised to see the border had been closed” to Lebanese citizens “from the Syrian side”.
A security source at Masnaa, the main land border crossing between the two countries, said Syrian authorities had implemented “new procedures” since last night, only allowing in Lebanese with residency permits or official permission.
“Syrians attempted to open the crossing using a bulldozer, so army personnel fired warning shots into the air. The Syrians opened fire on army personnel, injuring one of them and provoking a clash”.
