Lebanese Army thwarted at dawn Saturday an attempt by terrorists to infiltrate Lebanon’s northeastern border

Lebanese Army thwarted at dawn Saturday an attempt by terrorists to infiltrate Lebanon's northeastern border, the state-run National News Agency reported.

Soldiers pounded what they believed were militant movements in the northeastern region of Wadi Rafeq, on the outskirts of al-Qaa, blocking an infiltration attempt, the NNA said.

The military also shelled the outskirts of Ras Baalbek and Arsal with heavy artillery after militants tried to infiltrate.

The Army recently deployed in some eastern border villages in a bid to repulse new possible attacks or infiltration attempts by armed groups.
