BEIRUT (AP) — Fighting erupted overnight into Monday along the border with Lebanon, Syria's state media said. This came after the Syrian interim government accused militants from Lebanon's Hezbollah of crossing into Syria on Saturday, kidnapping three soldiers and killing them on Lebanese soil.

Representatives of the defense ministries of Lebanon and Syria have reached an agreement to cease fire. The parties are trying to stop the clashes along their shared border, which have been ongoing for two days,
