Syria's bloody, two-year-old conflict has yet again spilled across the border into Lebanon, where officials say a series of rockets landed in an eastern region on Friday.
Security officials say at least six rockets fired from Syria hit the eastern Bekaa region of Lebanon, but landed harmlessly in a field and did not cause casualties.
The Bekaa region is a stronghold of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which is fighting rebels in Syria alongside the government forces of President Bashar al-Assad.
Lebanon, which has not officially taken a side in the Syrian civil war, has been hit in recent months by a number of rockets, many of which have struck pro-Hezbollah regions.
Clashes in Lebanon between supporters and opponents of Mr. Assad have also killed dozens in recent weeks.
