Six Syrian Gunmen Arrested in Arsal Region
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese army arrested on Thursday six Syrians on the outskirts of the Bekaa town of Arsal.
“In the framework of controlling the land borders, a Lebanese army checkpoint arrested six Syrians who were riding a number of motorbikes in the Arsal area of Wadi Hmayyed,” an army statement said.
The army said they were detained for “trying to enter Lebanese territory illegally and possessing two hand grenades and a night vision device.”
The detainees and the confiscated items were handed over to the relevant authorities which started interrogating them under the supervision of the judiciary, it added.
The arrest comes three days after a car bombing against a Hizbullah position in the Bekaa region of Baalbek.
Al-Manar television, which is affiliated with Hizbullah, said that the assailants behind the bombing came from Arsal.
Arsal municipality head Ali al-Hujairi told the Central News Agency on Wednesday: “I do not know why they always drag Arsal's name into the various security incidents that have been taking place in Lebanon.”
“They should leave the town alone,” he demanded.
A number of gunmen have repeatedly been arrested near Arsal in the past and the incidents have grown in frequency since the Syrian uprising turned into an armed conflict in 2012.
Arsal, which lies 12 kilometers from the border with Syria, has been used as a conduit for weapons and rebels to enter Syria, while also serving as a refuge for people fleeing the conflict.

"Arsal municipality head Ali al-Hujairi told the Central News Agency on Wednesday: “I do not know why they always drag Arsal's name into the various security incidents that have been taking place in Lebanon.”"
lol hujairi, you dont know why? i can give you a few hints if you want. the fact that the people behind those incidents are taking refuge in arsal is one of them. the fact that you and your men butchered soldiers, showing where you stand in the picture, is another.

Hezbiran and the army are allies because the US and the mullahs are working together in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Hezbiran is in a hopeless situation without the support of the Lebanese state. All you need to do is to bomb them every now and then to make them live under siege with no economy and nowhere to go. The army is equipped and trained by the West for one reason, to fight the Sunnis.

Why doesn't the army arrest the hizbshaytan's armed men? The army is giving hezbshaytanis and their allies a free passage in and from Syria while sunnimuslims and other people against the regime gets arrested.. Hypocrisy indeed..

Excepté qqes éclairés personne ne pigera. voila une langue en voie de disparition dans les écoles. j'ai eu la chance de faire 6 ans de latin durant toutes mes secondaires mais c'est de moins en répandu en Europe. idem pour le grec ancien qui se fait encore plus rare.

ce que ft ignore, c'est que quand Caton l'ancien dit le censeur demandait la destruction de Carthage, c'etait pas parce qu'elle representait une menace pour Rome, mais pour en faire une province soumise. FT veut qu'Arsal devienne soumise au Hezb et pas au Liban comme le reste de la de faco independante Bekaa...

le binaire ici c'est toi, qui qualifie de wahabite ou corrompu par l'AS quiconque s'oppose a l'iran et a ses laquets du hizb.
Ceux que t'appelles extermiste sont des braves qui se battent contre la tyrannie et la sauvagerie d'Assad. Bien sure y a des takfiris parmi eux mais c'est moins de 5%.
Faut etre extremement malade ou khomeyniste pour soutenir Assad le boucher...
