Mine blast injures five soldiers in Lebanon’s Arsal
A mine explosion in the Lebanese town of Arsal on the border with Syria wounds at least five soldiers, a day after five people were killed in a bomb blast in the same town.
The casualties came after an army patrol vehicle hit a mine on the road in al-Jamali area in Arsal on Friday.
Reports say a gunfight has erupted between Lebanese military sources and terrorists following the explosion in the area.
On Thursday, at least five people were killed and three others wounded in a blast in Arsal when a bomber entered the office of al-Qalamoun Muslim Scholars, a local council of Muslim figures, in the Sabil neighborhood and “detonated an explosive belt.”
The Lebanese army has been, for months, carrying out operations around Arsal, where thousands of militants from the Takfiri group Nusra Front, known for its terrorist activities in neighboring Syria, as well as members of the Daesh terrorist group, are believed to be operating.
Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has also been involved in an anti-militant operation in the neighboring mountainous region of Qalamoun, retaking numerous positions from the Nusra militants and other militant groups.
