Lebanese President Michel Suleiman on Tuesday reiterated his call to feuding parties in Syria to avoid shelling Lebanese towns and villages close to the borders.

Earlier Tuesday four rockets fired from Syria hit the outskirts of the Nabi Sheet village in east Bekaa Valley, wounding three Lebanese nationals and causing damage to their house.

After the cross-border attack Suleiman asked the Lebanese army to take all necessary steps to defend frontier villages and innocent residents living there.

Lebanon has long been divided over the clashes in neighboring Syria. The country's Shiite Hezbollah and its allies back Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government, while the Sunni-led opposition supports the rebels. That's why local Sunni Jihadist groups have repeatedly launched cross-border rocket attacks against eastern Lebanon.
