Mayor Ali al-Hujeiri gestures during an interview with Reuters at his office at the border town of Arsal, in the eastern Bekaa Valley March 20, 2014. There are now more than 100,000 refugees in Arsal, Hujeiri said, compared to the original population of about 40,000. Fighting across the border this week has made the situation in Arsal even more desperate and showed how quickly Syria's conflict can spill over and metastasize inside Lebanon.

Refugees who fled the violence from the Syrian town of Flita, near Yabroud, stand outside their tents at the border town of Arsal
Refugees who fled the violence from the Syrian town of Flita, near Yabroud, stand outside their tents at the border town of Arsal, in the eastern Bekaa Valley March 20, 2014. Arsal is Sunni Muslim and the neighbouring town of al-Labwa is Shi'ite. Their fate shows just how dangerous the war in Syria has become for Lebanon as it still recovers from its own civil conflict. Over the past three years, tens of thousands of Syrian refugees have more than tripled the population of Arsal, a town so close to the border you can see the smoke as Syrian government warplanes bomb rebel positions across the frontier.

Lebanese army soldiers patrol on their armoured vehicle in the Sunni Muslim border town of Arsal, in eastern Bekaa Valley March 20, 2014. A car bomb claimed by a hardline Sunni group went off in the Lebanese town of Nabi Osmane, killing at least three people and prompting a closure of the road running uphill from their town to Arsal. The closure severed Arsal from its only connection to Lebanon and set off demonstrations across the country, which ended on Wednesday when the army brokered a deal for the road to be opened and troops to deploy in Arsal.
