The war in Lebanon continues...

"The Lebanese Army has successfully repelled the infiltration attempt by the militants from the Al-Qaeda linked “Al-Nusra Front” (Jabhat Al-Nusra) and the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) at Tal Hamra (Red Hill) in Jaroud ‘Arsaal.

According to a military source, at least 15 militants from Al-Nusra and ISIS were killed during this attack, including a number of Syrian nationals.

The Lebanese Army is pressing the militants in the ‘Arsaal District of the Ba’albak Governorate after numerous militants from ISIS and the Al-Nusra Front entered Lebanon via the Syrian border."

"On Friday morning, the Lebanese Army carried out a vicious assault on the militants from the Al-Qaeda linked “Al-Nusra Front” and the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) in the area of Jaroud ‘Arsaal, capturing the imperative Khaled Hill (Tal Khaled) after almost 4 hours of non-stop violence between these opposing forces.

However, despite the Lebanese Army’s success at Tal Khaled, contingents from ISIS and the Al-Nusra Front ambushed the Lebanese Army at the Raas Ba’albak Mountains, killing 2 soldiers before the Lebanese Army’s Central Command lost contact with the remaining men. According to a Lebanese Army source, the Central Command has yet to receive word on the fate of the soldiers in Raas Ba’albak."

Lebanon is the only country whose contemporary name is unchanged for 4000 years, yes? Lebanon is mentioned by name in the Old Testament. I guess when your country has been at war for 4000 years, you learn a thing or two about combat.
