Evidence (2000-01-01): In the east, Israeli forces advanced along four main routes towards Joub Jannine, along both sides of the Qaraoun reservoir. The Syrians resisted fiercely. Syrian infantrymen armed with anti-tank weapons staged ambushes against Israeli tanks, and Syrian Gazelle helicopters armed with HOT missiles proved effective against Israeli armor. However, the Israelis managed to capture the valley floor, and the Syrians retreated. The Israelis captured Rachaiya, advanced through Kfar Quoq, and took the outskirts of Yanta. Joub Jannine also fell to the Israelis. The extent of Israeli advances ensured that Syrian reinforcements were blocked from deploying west of the Qaraoun reservoir. An Israeli armored battalion then probed past Joub Jannine to the town of Sultan Yacoub, and was ambushed by Syrian forces lying in wait. In the Battle of Sultan Yacoub, the Israelis fought fiercely to extricate themselves, and called in reinforcements and artillery fire to cover the withdrawal.

Evidence (2024-09-28): Since independence, Lebanon and Syria have been in a border dispute over the ownership of the eastern inland territories located on the Lebanese-Syrian border, including Deir El Aachayer, Qasr, Qaa, and Kfar Qouq. In fact, these areas were all geographically and emotionally closer to Syria, but France annexed them all to Lebanon during the French colonial period, regardless of the will of the local residents. Naturally, since these borders were drawn during the colonial period, Syria claims that these areas originally belonged to Syria and are a legacy of colonial imperialism, and raises territorial issues with Lebanon over these areas. However, Lebanon ignores Syria's claims and effectively rules over these areas. Moreover, Lebanon counters that if Syria raises a claim to these areas, it must first reclaim Hatay, which was once Syrian territory but was annexed by Turkey in 1939, and the Golan Heights , which was taken from Israel in the Middle East War, before discussing the issue.

On 8 June Christians from Dahr al-Ahmar and the vicinity fled to Rashaya, a town with an Ottoman garrison, for protection.[23]
