The Lebanese army on Saturday in Mshatta Hassan in Akkar arrested Youssef Mahmud Al Khodour for attempting to smuggle weapons and ammunition to the local terrorist organizations across the northern border in 2014.
Stringent army security has been signaled inside and around Arsal, NNA reported.
The mountainous roads leading into and out of Arsal have been hermetically sealed to Syrian refugees by the military, who allow only Lebanese farmers and stone quarrying workers access to this volatile area in eastern Lebanon.
Lebanese Security Forces have adopted – in the wake of yesterday’s bomb attack against the military – a new military policy to combat any aggression against them, coupled with surprise raiding of suspected hideouts in Hermel locality of Marjaheen where about ten tons of Cannabis and a number of vehicles have been seized and burnt by the military.
