Two Syrians Held in Jezzine on 'Terror' Charges
Two Syrians were arrested Friday in the southern region of Jezzine on terror-related charges, state-run National News Agency reported.
“The Jezzine State Security department has managed to arrest the Syrians F. H. and Sh. A. in the Jezzine region,” NNA said.
“They confessed to belonging to terrorist groups, communicating with Syria-based militants, and providing them with information,” the agency added.
The country has been on high security alert since the unprecedented suicide bombings that hit the Christian border town of al-Qaa in late June.
Scores of people have been arrested in a major crackdown on Syrian refugee encampments and gatherings and security agencies have upped their measures across Lebanon.
Al-Qaa's blasts occurred after the arrest of several Islamic State-linked cells plotting bombings in the country and amid a flurry of media reports about possible attacks during the holy month of Ramadan.
