According to the statement, the army intelligence apprehended a terrorist cell in the Lebanese Qalamoun region.
The network was seeking to assassinate a prominent security official in the North.
The detainees were identified as: Wassim Ahmed al-Qass, Wissam Ahmed al-Qass, Dani Ahmed al-Qass, Amjad Nouhad al-Khatib and Nabil Kamel Bayda.
"The army intelligence will continue to pursue suspects to arrest the remaining members of the cell and reveal their connections and schemes," the statement said.
Security forces began recently enforcing strict measures and carrying out raids in several areas after obtaining information on a plot to target hospitals and high-ranking security officials.
