BEIRUT: The Lebanese Army said Thursday it had arrested eight individuals, including two high-ranking members of a terrorist group during raids in north Lebanon.

An army statement said that the “exceptional raids” in the Akkar towns of Khirbet Daoud and Doueir Adwiyeh targeted suspects accused of assaulting Lebanese soldiers and carrying out terrorist operations in Lebanon.

The raids led to the arrest of Abdel-Monhem Khaled, a defected sergeant in the Lebanese Army who is accused of serving as a high-ranking member of an unidentified terrorist organization, the statement said.
