Lebanon

The army arrested 21 gunmen, 19 of whom were Syrians, as they tried to enter the country from Syria near Wadi Khaled. Security at the border has been heightened as many Syrian opposition fighters fleeing Yabroud have sought refuge in Lebanon. Four rockets fired from Syria landed in the towns of Nabi Othman and Labweh, injuring one person. The army detonated a rigged car in the Bekaa valley. Among those killed in yesterday’s suicide bombing in the Bekaa valley was local Hezbollah leader Abdul Rahman al-Qadhi. The Al Nusrah Front in Lebanon claimed the attack as retaliation for Hezbollah’s role in the battle for Yabroud.
