The Lebanese army on Sunday said it thwarted an infiltration attempt by armed men crossing from Syria into eastern Lebanon, the state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported.
The incident occurred before noon near the villages of Kfar Zabad and Qousaya in the Baalbek region, with the gunmen retreating into Syria after being confronted by Lebanese forces, the NNA said. The army reinforced its positions along the border to prevent further incidents.
