Lebanese Man Shot Dead, Syrian Hospitalized in Arsal Attacks
Gunmen killed a Lebanese man while a Syrian was hospitalized in separate attacks in the northeastern border town of Arsal, the state-run National News Agency reported Wednesday.
NNA said that Talal al-Braidi, also known as Talal Zino, was shot dead by armed men near his house in the Arsal area of al-Shafaq.
Unknown assailants also tried to kill Syrian Fadi Shafaa in a separate incident in Arsal, said NNA.
Shafaa, who hails from the Syrian town of Qara in the Qalamoun region, was taken to al-Rahma hospital in Arsal where he underwent surgery, the agency added.
Such attacks are common in Arsal, which lies on the border with Syria, where jihadists from al-Nusra Front and the Islamic State group have taken shelter.
