Lebanese state news denies Syrian troop presence in Lebanon
After Reuters reported the infiltration of Syrian troops into Lebanon, the NNA denied the information.  

Reuters earlier reported that Syrian troops advanced into Lebanon on Tuesday, destroying farm buildings and clashing with Syrian rebels who had taken refuge there, residents said.    

"More than 35 Syrian soldiers came across the border and started to destroy houses," said Abu Ahmed, 63, a resident of the rural mountain area of al-Qaa.      

Another resident said that the soldiers, some traveling in armored personnel vehicles, fired rocket-propelled grenades and exchanged heavy machinegun fire with rebels.    

In turn, the NNA denied the information saying that the LAF border patrol is deployed in large numbers along the Syrian frontier.  

A Lebanese citizen was wounded by a stray bullet during clashes on the Syrian side, the NNA reported.
