The Lebanese army arrested on Sunday a number of armed Syrians in the Bekaa region of Arsal, reported Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3).
It said that a shootout broke out between the army and the five Syrians when they opened fire at an army patrol in the Wadi Hmayyed area.
It identified the assailants as Mouwaffaq al-Hajj Qassem, Seifeddine Turfa, Fares Abbas, Wael Moussa Ouweidan, and Turab Mohammed Matar.
Investigations are underway with the assailants.
On Thursday, a Syrian was killed and two others were wounded by the army in Arsal.
The army was forced to open fire at the Syrians after they fled from an army checkpoint in Wadi Hmayyed.
Arsal lies 12 kilometers from the border with Syria and has been used as a conduit for weapons and rebels to enter Syria, while also serving as a refuge for people fleeing the conflict.

When the LAF doesn't do its job, it is criticised, when it does it is also criticised, so let the LAF do its job. Allez, frappez avant de parler.
