Beirut, (IINA) - The Lebanese Army Wednesday said it killed five Syria-based militants trying to infiltrate the northeastern border town of Arsal overnight, according to media reports.
A military statement said troops clashed with the militant group, killing five. It identified one of the victims as Syrian Ghaleb Saeed Ghiyeh.
The National News Agency said the militants, who belonged to Nusra Front, were “ambushed” late Tuesday evening as they tried to infiltrate Arsal through Wadi Ata.
“The Lebanese Army opened fire on the militants, leaving a number of them killed and wounded,” NNA said in a dispatch from Baalbek, east Lebanon.
The report added that other members of the militant group retreated after failing to penetrate Arsal.
