A convoy transporting the body of martyr Ali Al-Ali arrived on Sunday to the Baalbeck town of Al-Khraybeh where a funeral procession was held at 5 PM.
On the first of May, the Islamic State militant group handed the Lebanese Armed Forces the bodies of martyr Ali al-Ali, a soldier who was killed during clashes with the group back in August 2nd, and that of citizen Mamdouh Younes who hails from the town of Brital. The outstanding file of the Lebanese troops who have been kidnapped in Arsal back in August has caused widespread outrage among their relatives who have been protesting for months in Beirut’s Riyad al-Solh Square, calling for the release of their loved ones.
Three hostages have been killed by their abductors thus far.
