| 2015-02-23 |
| [AnNahar] The Lebanese army foiled overnight Sunday an incursion by snuffies on the outskirts of Ras Baalbek in the eastern Bekaa, the state-run National News Agency reported. According to NNA, gunnies tried to infiltrate into Tallat al-Hamra area on the outskirts of Ras Baalbek but the army prevented them by shelling their positions using heavy and medium artillery. Earlier in February, the military began targeting bully boyz taking positions along Leb's eastern border with heavy artillery after bloody festivities with jihadists killed eight Lebanese troops and maimed several others in the Tallat al-Hamra area "when gunnies attacked a military surveillance post." The mountainous area has long been a smuggling haven, with multiple routes into Syria that have been used since the conflict began in March 2011 to transport weapons and fighters. |
