On April 22, the Lebanese Army carried out a special operation in the Wadi al-Hosn area in Arsal where Lebanese commandos stormed the home of “Wa’el Deeb al-Falaiti” and arrested him and his brother “Hussein Deeb al-Fleiti.”
A group of wanted terrorists who were working on supplying terrorist groups in Lebanon and Syria with arms and money was detained.
Lebanese commandos have also killed “Al-Halabi,” nicknamed “Al-Malys” during the operation. Al-Halabi was a Syrian national from the town of Qara in Western Qalamoun. He was an ISIS commander and was directly responsible for the abduction and execution of kidnapped soldiers in Lebanon in 2014.

The Lebanese Army is currently conducting a special operation against terrorists in the vicinity of Arsal and the nearby village, which are controlled by both Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and ISIS.
The complicated political situation in Lebanon has prevented the army from liberating the region since 2012.
Good to hear the Lebanese army fighting terrorism on the border areas of Syria and Lebanon, as these areas were known to be strongholds of terrorist sympathizers.

“The complicated political situation in Lebanon has prevented the army from liberating the area since 2012 .” It would not make any sense for the Christians to work against Hezbollah , as they would be the Wahabbi jihadists first target . Be interesting to know what held up these operations for five years.
It is high past time for the central and northern Lebanese army to take part, as the Lebanese southern-army (Hezbollah) have already been taking part. Also, the Christian militias of norther Lebanon who were bombed so badly by Israeli bombs during the 2006 war, need to take a more active role from just keeping ISIS out of their city’s, to going on the offensive along side the Lebanese and Syrian army’s to liberate the whole region. They will need to learn how to work closer together when they all have to go on the counter offensive next time Israel tries to grab more Lebanese lands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OcaWCUWBVc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQIrSR6tKJg
