Security agencies on Tuesday arrested three people in two separate operations in the Bekaa governorate and the southern city of Sidon, state-run National News Agency reported.

“State Security arrested the Syrians A. Kh. R. and N. R. in the Baalbek district towns of Btedei and Deir al-Ahmar and they confessed to belonging to al-Nusra Front,” NNA said.

The two detainees also confessed that they had fought alongside the terrorist groups in the Eastern Mountain Range.

They were later handed over to the relevant judicial authorities via the army's Intelligence Directorate.

NNA described the detainee N. R. as an official of al-Nusra Front, Syria's former al-Qaida affiliate, noting that he goes by the nom de guerre Al-Wahsh (The Beast).

Separately, General Security intelligence agents arrested the Palestinian A. A. in Sidon's al-Sitt Nafisa neighborhood on suspicion of “communicating with terrorist groups.”
