The Lebanese army arrested ten militants in the outskirts of the northeastern town of Arsal, the Army Command-Orientation Directorate said in a statement on Saturday.
The army's security operation plan took place in Wadi al-Hosn area in Arsal's outskirts, it said.
The troops arrested ten dangerous militants, and no causalities or wounded were recorded among the army's ranks, added the statement.
Arsal lies 12 kilometers from the border with Syria.
In March, the Lebanese army announced that it will strengthen its deployment on the border with Syria to prevent the infiltration of militants into the country and control the borders to avoid any offensive action.
