LAF soldiers bombard gunmen in Arsal’s barren range

2^min

Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers bombarded, early Monday, suspicious movements of militants in Arsal’s barren range, the state-run National News Agency reported.

“The troops pulled out [from the battlefield] two bodies of gunmen affiliated with an armed group they fought overnight in Wadi Ata and transported them to the Hermel government hospital,” the agency said.

The army also thwarted, Sunday overnight, an attempt by gunmen to infiltrate into the Lebanese territories, killing two and leaving five wounded.

The agency added that the army ambushed them in al-Masyadeh and Wadi Hmeid regions, located in Arsal’s barren range.

The army fought several days of deadly battles last year with insurgent groups including Islamic State and the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front when they staged an incursion into Arsal.

The Lebanese group Hezbollah and the Syrian army have been seeking to drive insurgents from the border zone in a campaign that got under way earlier this year. Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Shi'ite group, is fighting alongside President Bashar al-Assad in the four year Syrian civil war.
