Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis more than two years ago, the army has seized several vehicles carrying arms, ammo and explosives from and to Syrian territory.
On Tuesday, the army raided places in the Bekaa town of Kamed al-Lawz and arrested Abdullah Azzam Brigades top official Jamal Daftardar.
And on Thursday morning, a likely suicide bombing rocked the town of Hermel in the Bekaa, leaving at least three people dead and dozens others injured.
