REPORT: Lebanese army deploys troops in Arsal, conducts intensive patrols
The Lebanese army deployed troops on Sunday in the northeastern border town of Arsal and conducted intensive patrols as negotiations are still being held to release the security forces and soldiers who were abducted in the town.

This comes after the families of the Lebanese captives staged a sit-in and blocked the Riyak-Baalbek road in both directions.        

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

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.     

Muslim clerics who had been mediating an end to five days of fighting in Arsal said they would negotiate for the release of remaining captives held by militants whose incursion into Lebanon marked the most serious spillover of Syria's three-year-old civil war into Lebanese territory.
