In this picture taken on Tuesday, April 22, 2014, Lebanese army soldiers patrol a road near Ras al-Haref mountain at the unmarked Lebanese-Syrian border, eastern Lebanon. More recently, the unmarked border between the two Arab neighbors, Syria and Lebanon, has become a source of friction in the region. Lebanese militants, fighting on the opposing sides in Syria's civil war have been moving troops and weapons freely over the 365-kilometer (226-mile) invisible frontier. Syrians fleeing their country's bloodshed keep pouring into Lebanon, with most Syrian crossing into Lebanon without being checked by officials at half a dozen border posts. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
