Clashes in Lebanon in between military and armed men
The army troops arrested two of the gunmen but the third managed to flee, the NNA said. The troops confiscated a car loaded with arms, ammunition and military equipment after the firefight.

The regulars engaged in fierce clashes with gunmen in the mountainous regions close to the town. They intervened after a military patrol was ambushed. One soldier was wounded, according to an army statement, adding that another was "missing." Arsal has turned into a flashpoint of sporadic clashes between the army troops and the armed militants, entrenched in hideouts scattered on the mountainous ridge marking the Lebanon-Syria border line.
