The army shelled on Friday positions of Islamist gunmen on the outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal, reported al-Manar television.

It said that the attacks targeted Islamic State and al-Nusra Front groups.

“The army used heavy artillery and multiple rocket launchers against the takfiri groups on the outskirts,” it added.

The military launched its attack after detecting movement of takfiri groups in al-Rahweh region in Arsal.

Meanwhile, Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) reported that clashes erupted between an IS group led by Abu Abdul Salam and a Nusra group led by Abu Malek al-Talli in Syria's Ras al-Maara near Lebanon's border.

Southern, trust me when I say that it matters not who thumbs me down, what is in my mind and in my heart will be aired loud and square. As I always said before, the last thing on my mind is to please anyone. Of course, there are times when I am wrong, so when I am shown my mistake, I will repair it without any complex. We are Lebanese first and if we all unite who could dare come close to us?

Those sanctions are garbage, and you know it. The U.S does not want the Lebanese Army, to have heavy weaponry. Look at those old american APCs M113's from the 60s. The army needs heavily armored tanks! The takfiris uses highly advanced anti tank rockets, Iran supplied Iraq, with alot of heavy airbombers. Same would happend to LAF.

Instead we wait forever, for a french saudi deal, that never gets through. Iran would've given LAF weaponry asap.
