2014-08 - Arsal Conflict | August, 2014 to June, 2019

Hezbollah Wednesday hit al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front militants with two rockets on Lebanon's northeastern border, killing five and wounding six others, a security source told The Daily Star.
The attack took place in the area of Wadi al-Khayl on the outskirts of Arsal, the source said.
The incident comes two days after a suspected Lebanese Army airstrike targeted Nusra Front militants inside a Syrian refugee camp.

Eight people were killed and many wounded on Monday when the Lebanese army targeted militant positions along the eastern border with war-torn Syria, security sources told AFP.
"The Lebanese army targeted militants on the border" with Syria, a security source said. A separate security source said a "helicopter fired a missile at takfiri positions in Wadi Hmeid," on the eastern outskirts of the northeastern border town of Arsal.
He said eight people were killed and "a large number" of others wounded, but he could not say if the dead were militants or civilians.

The Lebanese army arrested on Monday afternoon one of the prominent members of Al-Nusra Front in the town of Arsal, Ibrahim Mutawe, wanted for his involvement in terrorist acts and battles against the Lebanese army, NNA correspondent reported. http://nna-leb.gov.lb/en/show-news/51087/Army-arrests-one-of-AlNusra-Fro...

The relatives of the kidnapped servicemen held a sit-in on Friday in front of the Interior Ministry and blocked the road near the Central Bank in the Beirut area of Hamra, demanding the release of their sons after more than 14 months of captivity.
The families also prevented the security forces from reopening the Banks Street in downtown Beirut after it was blocked during the civil society protests on Thursday.
