Three soldiers and a suicide bomber were killed after a car bomb was detonated in the town of Arsal near the Syrian border.
Arsal is a border town that has become home for Syrian refugees, as well as Syrian rebels and Hezbollah fighters who fled the Syrian army’s advance near the border with Lebanon.
This attack took place hours after Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah’s speech, leader of the Hezbollah, who proclaimed that his fighting in Syria has a purpose of protecting Lebanon against the rising wave of extremism in Syria.
The attack hit just hours after a speech by Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, who said he was protecting Lebanon by fighting in Syria against Sunni militants.
“We will win this battle, God willing,” said Nasrallah, after describing the group’s role in the conflict in Syria as a fight against “takfiris” — extremist Sunni Muslims.
