إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
An officer and a soldier were martyred on Tuesday evening as their patrol came under fire in the northern Akkar plains.
The shooting also wounded another soldier.
"Armed men in a car fired gunshots at an army patrol in Akkar, which led to the martyrdom of an officer and a soldier, and the injury of another soldier,” the state-run National News Agency said.
Earlier reports had said the shooting had wounded an officer and two soldiers.
But shortly after, the officer and one soldier died of their wounds, the NNA said.
Future TV said the patrol came under fire in al-Qamoua town.
This incident comes after the military institution kicked off a security plan in the North and the Bekaa last week, and succeeded in the arrest of over 35 fugitives and in seizing many weapons and stolen vehicle.

Exactly! The army needs fewer Humvees and better defensive (and offensive) equipment.

1- I dont know yet if the killers are akkaris or even lebanese...
2- I never said that HI was training LAF but controlling it and manipulating it. When I happen to criticize the LAF, it's mostly not soldiers on the ground, but officers making decisions...

Farts 14 and Sanni First, are you still keeping count of the hundreds of Samer Hannas that you and your friends have killed so far? Just asking.

FT - those who did this should be tracked and apprehended and if they resist killed. But let us not be blind. It is the Hizb that is bringing these problems to Lebanon. When the Lebanese army cracks down on one side (and it must to prevents the formation of another militia that is stronger than the state) while standby and do nothing regarding the other sidee (Hizb), what outcome does a person expects?
