A leading ISIS terrorist was killed by the Lebanese army on Thursday during operations in the country’s north-east border with war-torn Syria. A second senior Islamic State fighter was also killed and another terrorist arrested. The Lebanese army operation was targeting terrorist “key points” along the border. International Business Times reports: Nayef Shaalan, who also was called Abu Fouz, was the leader of the extremist group aka either ISIL or ISIS in the border town of Arsal, long a stronghold of the militant group. During clashes with the Lebanese army on the outskirts of Arsal, Shaalan and his “Syrian escort” Ahmad Mroueh were killed, while ISIS’ regional security official, a Syrian national named Moustafa Mousalli, was detained, the army said in a statement. Lebanese security officials previously had been monitoring Shaalan’s whereabouts, accusing him of either carrying out or planning several attacks on the Lebanese side of the border with Syria. This week, Hezbollah said it thwarted an ISIS attack on one of its bases near Arsal. #الجيش_اللبناني #lebanesearmy #LAF pic.twitter.com/6eOzD1wOPO — الجيش اللبناني (@LebarmyOfficial) April 28, 2016 “The targeted terrorists had participated in fighting against the army in 2014, and they are responsible for rigging a number of cars and [...]
