2014-04-06
[AnNahar] Four soldiers were maimed in a gunbattle that erupted with men from the Chamas family in the eastern Bekaa town of Hermel.

According to Voice of Leb radio (93.3) four soldiers were maimed at dawn in an exchange of fire with men from the Chamas family.

The incident occurred after an army patrol detained a member of the family.

Unknown assailants had also tossed two hand grenades at the Hermel cop shoppe, causing material damage.

The Lebanese army will enforce in the upcoming hours a security plan in the eastern Bekaa valley to end violence following the successful implementation of the plan in the northern city of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
.

The endeavors come after the Bekaa town of Baalbek has witnessed a series of kidnappings for ransom and car robbery over the past year.

Security forces kicked off on Tuesday the security plan in Tripoli, seizing arms depots and detaining wanted suspects, who are involved in security chaos in the area.

Last week, the cabinet tasked the army and security forces with seizing stockpiled arms and controlling the security situation in Tripoli and the eastern Bekaa Valley in areas bordering Syria.

The plan took into consideration the recommendations of the Higher Defense Council.
