The town witnessed the severest invasion since the end of Qalamoun battle. Eye witnesses reported that hundreds of military members with help from Hezbollah Militia distributed in street, and the helicopter flied over the town, beside the air reconnaissance, as they were searching for a person accused of the explosion.

Arsal is considered the source for terrorism in the Lebanon according to Lebanese media, as they consider the suicide bombers who attacked the southern Suburb in Beirut had come from the town, and the latest was on Monday.

Abo Zeid al-Homsi, a Syrian activist in the town said sarcastically: “it looks like the Lebanese Army attacking an armed camp full of arms and weapons, and forgetting that all Syrian people in the tow children, women and injured”

Around 100 armed vehicles distributed in the town street, they attacked people tents and arrested dozens of Syrian people and activists, who work in aid and relief and have nothing to do in the political activities.

They arrested many injured people came earlier from Syria during Qalamoun and al-Qusayr battles, among them a young man was unable to walk and reclined on his walking stick which caused his mother lots of pain and shock.
