The head of the National Struggle Front MP Walid Jumblatt condemned on Thursday the attack carried out against the Lebanese Army, stressing the need to support the efforts deployed by the military institution to preserve national unity and to protect civil peace during the current critical situation.                                   

Jumblatt made his remarks following his meeting with the LAF Chief General Jean Kahwagi at his office in Yarzeh.               

Three Lebanese Armed Forces' soldiers were killed on Tuesday May 28th, after unknown assailants opened fire at them at 3 am dawn in the region of Wadi Hmeid on the outskirts of Arsal, northeastern Lebanon.                         

The LAF took airtight measures in the region in order to identify the assailants who escaped towards the Syrian territories.         

The soldiers who were killed in Arsal were identified as: Ali Monzer, Mustafa Hayek and Mohamad Sharaf Eddine, and were taken to Beirut's military hospital.       

On Thursday sources told LBCI that two men were arrested for suspicion of being involved in the attack.
