Abou al-Hassan al-Filastini's brigade detaining 7 LAF soldiers in exchange for 10 arrestees

2^min

Sources told LBCI on Thursday that the brigade of Abou al-Hassan al-Filastini, who was killed in Arsal clashes, is currently detaining 7 Lebanese Armed Forces soldiers.

The same sources added that the said brigade sent the videotape depicting the kidnapped soldiers to the premiership on Wednesday.

The brigade is demanding the release of 10 arrestees whose names were handed out to mediators.

Clashes erupted in Arsal on Saturday (August 01) when Syrian gunmen deployed across the region after the Lebanese Armed Forces arrested Syrian national Imad Ahmad Jomaa at a checkpoint.

The army said 20 soldiers have been killed, with at least 30 other ISF and LAF soldiers missing and 86 injured in the fighting.

On Thursday (August 07), a military source stated that a truce in Arsal appeared to be holding and the situation in the border town was quiet.

The sources said LAF troops were combing the area in eastern Lebanon to see if gunmen were withdrawing under the terms of the truce.

Lebanese security officials say the fighters include members of al Qaeda's Syria branch, the Nusra Front, and an al Qaeda splinter group, the Islamic State, which has seized swathes of land in Syria and Iraq.
