إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese Army on Thursday intercepted a car loaded with arms and ammunition, which was trying to enter the Bekaa border town of Arsal.
OTV said two Lebanese men were inside the car, identifying them as “Ahmed al-Fahel from al-Qubayyat and Hasan Mohammed from Akroum” in Akkar.
Army troops seized the car in the Wadi Hmayyed area on Arsal's outskirts. Al-Mayadeen television said the vehicle came from the Syrian town of Yabrud, a stronghold for rebel and jihadist groups.
Earlier media reports had claimed that the two detainees were Syrian.

indeed good job by the LAF. but there's something a bit puzzling, it's been many times in the last months that the army intercepts weapons coming from syria to lebanon, whereas at first the rebels were using lebanon to send weapons to syria.
the change of direction in the weapons flow might be indicating some parties here are stockpiling weapons in preparation for a violence outbreak. the army must be vigilant.

Yes good thinking, and that worries me as well. But also better thinking and what had worried me for years past and still are the tunnels that HA use to bring in heavy arms and rockets and stockpile them in houses of Shia civilians throughout Lebanon. How can one refute this logic.
So LAF good job on stopping this shipment and please be vigilant with all parties. Find those tunnels and close them for good.
