Bulldozers Stolen by Jihadists in Arsal, Taken to Mountains

Jihadists seized several bulldozers from northeastern town of Arsal and took them to its outskirts on Friday, reported the National News Agency.

Militants from al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State groups destroyed the equipment of three stone-crushers, owned by Mohammad Alawli, Mayor Milhem al-Hujeiri and Hani al-Hujeiri.

In August, fighters from IS and al-Nursa Front engaged in deadly fighting with the Lebanese army in Arsal and took with them hostages from the military and the Internal Security Forces as they withdrew to Syria.
