[AnNahar] The Lebanese army foiled an infiltration attempt overnight when some gunnies tried to infiltrate the outskirts of Ras Baalbek and Wadi Rafek near of al-Qaa, the state-run National News Agency reported on Monday.

Lebanese troops engaged in heavy armed festivities with the infiltrators, NNA added.
