REPORT: Al-Nusra Front releases video depicting the execution of LAF soldier Mohammad Hamieh
The al-Nusra Front released on Saturday a video depicting the execution of the Lebanese soldier Mohammad Hamieh with a bullet to the head.

The video also showed  Lebanese soldier Ali al-Bazzal pleading his family to act or else he will be executed too.

In turn, sources told LBCI that the al-Nusra Front is demanding the release of 15 inmates from the Roumieh prison in exchange for Hamieh's body.

The Al-Nusra Front, al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, stated on Friday (September 19) that it has killed Lebanese soldier Mohammad Hamieh.

According to a statement distributed by an account affiliated with the group, Al-Nusra said that the soldier had become "the first victim of the intransigence of the Lebanese army".

Turkey's Anatolia news agency quoted on Saturday (September 06) a commander of the Islamic State as saying that the group had executed one of the captured Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers for trying to escape.

"LAF soldier Abbas Medlej tried to escape from prison and after he attempted to open fire at IS members, we took control of the situation by slaughtering him," the Islamic State- Qalamoun branch said in a statement.

Also on August 28, the Islamic State posted photos and a video online depicting a militant beheading a blindfolded hostage who was identified as Lebanese Armed Forces Sergeant Ali al-Sayyed.

On Sunday (August 31), Lebanon's military said an al-Qaeda-linked Syrian rebel group released five members of the Lebanese security forces captured earlier in August in a cross-border raid.

The men were taken hostage when militants from Syria took over the Lebanese border town of Arsal for five days before withdrawing toward the Syrian frontier, taking with them Lebanese soldiers and policemen as hostages. The clashes were the most dangerous spillover of violence from the civil war in neighboring Syria.

The clashes flared up when Syrian gunmen deployed across the region after the Lebanese Armed Forces arrested Imad Jomaa at a checkpoint.

While the release of the five men provided a degree of relief, concerns remain about the troops and policemen still in captivity.
