After a late armed attack against an Infantry Brigade in north Lebanon killed a soldier, the Lebanese army staged raids early on Monday in the northern district of Dinniyeh in search for the assailants, media outlets reported on Monday.
One soldier, Amer Mustafa al-Mohammed, was killed and another was injured overnight when gunmen attacked the 10th Infantry Brigade in the northern town of Bqaa Safrine, they added.
The army staged raids early on Monday in Dinniyeh after the aggression against its troops.
A security source told LBCI that the army had not staged raids before the assault on the army.

Investigations were run into the incident.
