Syria's official news agency reported Saturday that Damascus had rejected an Italian proposal to deploy unarmed border monitors along Lebanon's eastern border.

The deployment is meant to prevent arms shipments to Hizb'allah.

Last month, Syrian dictator Bashar Assad said he would view the deployment of international forces along his country's western border as a "hostile act."
