Funerals were held Sunday for Lebanese soldiers who died in an explosion while inspecting an arms and ammunition cache in southern Lebanon on Saturday.

The fallen soldiers were first recruit Abbas Fawzi Selhab, recruits Mohammad Ali Shoukair, Ibrahim Khalil Moustafa, Ahmed Fadi Fadel, and Yamen Hallak, in the towns of Riyaq (Zahle), Ghobeiry (Baabda), Majdaloun (Baalbek), Debaal (Tyre), and Wajh al-Hajar (Homs, Syria).
