A woman has been killed and a Lebanese soldier among five injured following gunfire at a border crossing between Syria and northern Lebanon.
The incident occurred near the Lebanese town of Wadi Khaled on Sunday. Thousands of Syrians have arrived at the border, fleeing a crackdown in the neighbouring town of Talkalakh, around five kilometres away.
The Syrian army surrounded and attacked Talkalakh on Saturday after a protest there the day before against the government of president Bashar al-Assad. At least four people were killed in the Saturday incursion.
Witnesses said those killed on Saturday were among dozens attempting to leave Talkalakh and enter Lebanon.
