Syria urges Syrians to leave Lebanon

BERUIT, Lebanon, July 8 (UPI) -- Syria is calling on its citizens who are in Lebanon to leave the country ahead of an expected military "eruption" expected to take place next week.

Arab and Iranian news reports predict Lebanon's political crisis may become a violent conflict next week, Israel's YNetnews.com reported. Reports from the area suggest civil war is possible.

The violence is expected to come just days before a special United Nations Security Council meeting on the stationing of international authorities on the Syria-Lebanon border, to monitor illegal trafficking of arms to Hezbollah, YNetnews.com said.
