| [AnNahar] Five soldiers were maimed in a blast that targeted an army tank in Ras al-Sarj in the eastern border town of Arsal, the state-run National News Agency said on Friday. Gunfire was later heard in the area and the army deployed heavily, NNA added. It added that the troops engaged in heavy festivities with the gunnies in the Khalaf al-Jafar area in Arsal. Afterwards, the army raided the refugee encampments close to the site of the kaboom. Al-Jadeed TV said that the bomb was planted on the side of the road. The kaboom came a day after a jacket wallah killed several people there when he entered a meeting of Syrian holy mans and detonated an boom belt. Arsal lies along Leb's border with Syria and is a Sunni Muslim enclave in mainly Shiite eastern Leb. It hosts many Syrian refugees as well as rebel fighters in the surrounding countryside. |
