The Lebanese Army announced on Friday that it had arrested “eight individuals who confessed to being supporters of the terrorist organization Daesh (ISIS).”
“The suspects admitted to committing acts of theft to finance their terrorist projects and to firing at shops and at the vehicle of an officer of the Internal Security Forces as part of a series of security incidents that occurred in the regions of Jabal Baddaoui and Wadi el-Nahleh in North Lebanon,” according to a statement from the Lebanese Army.
They also confessed to “taking a photo of a Lebanese Army post that they intended to attack,” the statement added.
The Army also seized weapons and equipment used by the suspects in their operations. The confiscated items were handed over to the competent authorities, and a judicial investigation has been opened.
