Four suicide bombers killed at least five people and wounded 19 more in a series of attacks in a Lebanese Christian village at the border with Syria on Monday, the latest violent spillover of the five-year-old Syrian war into Lebanon.
Security sources said they believed Daesh was responsible.
Lebanon has been repeatedly jolted by militant attacks linked to the war in neighboring Syria, where the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah is supporting Syrian regime thugs.
Witnesses said the first bomber blew himself up after being confronted by a resident, Lebanese media reported. The others blew themselves up one after the other as people arrived at the scene.
The fourth bomber detonated himself as the head of the town council opened fire on him. “We saw there was a fourth suicide bomber walking... the head of the municipality shot at him, I did too, and this is when he blew himself up,” Dany Awad, the deputy municipality head, said.
The Lebanese army said four soldiers were among the wounded. They were part of a patrol that headed to the location of the first blast. The first of the bombers had blown himself up outside a house, followed by the others in an adjoining street.
