The soldiers who were killed in Arsal area were identified as: Ali Monzer, Mustafa Hayek and Mohamad Sharaf Eddine, and were taken to Beirut’s military hospital.

The Lebanese Army according to the report had set up a security cordon on Wednesday night around Farhat Hospital in Jeb Jennin, following reports stating that an injured Free Syrian Army fighter is being treated there is suspected of being involved in the attack.
