The two neighboring countries in the Middle East, Syria and Lebanon, have agreed to a ceasefire after two days of conflict on the border, which have reported that at least 10 people have been killed and more than 50 injured, but all of the injured are Lebanese citizens.
CNN reported the ceasefire between the two countries on Tuesday (March 18) citing Syria's state-owned news agency Sana'a.
The Syrian army said in a statement on Sunday that the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah entered the Syrian border on Thursday and attacked the army and abducted three soldiers, and the next day, Hezbollah killed the three Syrian soldiers in the city of Kasar.
After this incident, Syria opened fire at the bordering Lebanese village and the city of Casar, killing 7 people and 52 Lebanese injured.
A total of 6 Syrian soldiers were abducted, 3 were killed and the remaining 3 were handed over to Syrian authorities, the Lebanese Defense Force said.
Hezbollah, however, has completely denied its involvement in the incident, a spokesman for the group, told Lebanon state news agency NNN that Hezbollah has nothing to do with attacks and kidnappings in Syria.
But Lebanon President Joseph Aun said in a statement on Sunday that conflict in the border areas is not acceptable and it cannot continue day after day.
The next day, Monday, the ceasefire Syria and Lebanon agreed.
The conflict between the two neighboring countries in the Middle East is quite rare, and there is no record of conflict between the two countries in the recent or distant past.
