Lebanon

The head of the Lebanese army said his forces are conducting “a total war against terrorism.” The military is chasing a carbombing cell that “aims to provoke sectarian strife by targeting different regions,” he added. Security forces in the Bekaa valley confiscated 10 Grad rockets hidden in a truck that had come from Syria. Marwan Hadeed Brigades, a Syrian group named for a Muslim Brotherhood leader, claimed it fired three rockets at Hezbollah forces in Lebanon. Prime Minister Hariri’s Future party bloc criticized Hezbollah for its “militia-like security measures.”
