Army Thwarts Arms Smuggling from Syria, Arrests 2 Lebanese
The Lebanese Army on Thursday intercepted a car loaded with arms and ammunition, which was trying to enter the Bekaa border town of Arsal.
OTV said two Lebanese men were inside the car, identifying them as “Ahmed al-Fahel from al-Qubayyat and Hasan Mohammed from Akroum” in Akkar.
Army troops seized the car in the Wadi Hmayyed area on Arsal's outskirts. Al-Mayadeen television said the vehicle came from the Syrian town of Yabrud, a stronghold for rebel and jihadist groups.
Earlier media reports had claimed that the two detainees were Syrian.
