"These units continue to raid the hideouts of the gunnies in Beirut and Tripoli in order to restore full calm in the two cities," it added, revealing that "around 100 gunnies were tossed in the slammer

, including 34 Syrians and four Paleostinians."

"A quantity of weapons, ammunition and military gear was seized, while 15 army troops were maimed by the gunnies's gunfire, including two officers," the statement added.

The Army Command stressed on Monday that Leb's security is a "red line" and that it will take strict measures against all those who are targeting security, as Army Commander General Jean Qahwaji inspected the army units deployed in Beirut.

It said in a statement: "We will not allow Leb to once again be turned into an open ground for regional conflicts."
