Ten suspected terrorists were arrested Sunday evening in the northern Bekaa region, according to media reports.
“Army intelligence agents apprehended in the northern Bekaa town of al-Labweh ten individuals suspected on belonging to a terrorist organization,” state-run National News Agency reported.
“They were on their way from the outskirts of (the border town of) Arsal to areas inside Lebanon,” NNA said.
“They were referred to the relevant judicial authorities,” it added.
LBCI television meanwhile said the ten men are all “Syrians who belong to terrorist groups.”
It said they were heading to the North and Western Bekaa.
Al-Jadeed TV said the detainees are members of the Islamic State extremist group, which has seized vast swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq, adding that they were arrested in “several ambushes on al-Labweh road.”
