BEIRUT, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Lebanese army arrested on Saturday two Syrian nationals belonging to Islamic State (IS) in Lebanon's Hermel, local media reported.
The two came from Syria's Deir al-Zour through illegal crossings between Syria and Lebanon, according to online independent newspaper Elnashra.
The Lebanese army also arrested four Syrian nationals for entering Lebanon in an illegal way.
All the arrested people were referred to the related judiciary bodies for further investigations and legal procedures.
Less than a week ago, Lebanon's state security arrested three Syrian nationals belonging to al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front.
