The Lebanese Army raided on Tuesday a jihadist post on the outskirts of the northeastern town of Ras Baalbek, attacking gunmen and causing casualties among their ranks, the military and the state-run National News Agency said.

The Airborne Regiment controlled the strategic post at al-Mukhairmeh hill at dawn, leaving three of them dead and four injured, they said.

The operation on the hill that lies 1564 meters above sea level came after the military received “information that terrorist groups were making combat and logistics preparations,” stated the army in its communique.

The army units returned to their positions after the operation. There were no casualties among their ranks, said the communique.
