The families of the soldiers and policemen abducted from the Arsal region briefly blocked on Monday the Tarshish-Zahleh road in an attempt to pressure the government to exert more efforts to release their loved ones.

They also blocked the Dahr al-Baydar road.

The roads were also closed off against humanitarian cases, reported various media outlets.

The families placed sand barriers on the Dahr al-Baydar road to ensure that no vehicles crossed the area.
