The Lebanese army has been pounding since last night the positions of ISIL in the outskirts of al-Qaa and Ras Baalbek.
National News agency reported that the shelling comes ahead of a planned assault against the terrorist group.
It noted that the army is also boosting deployment in the area ahead of the battle.
The assault against ISIL is aimed at cleansing the barrens in the border area with Syria of Takfiri terrorists. It comes few weeks after Hezbollah, backed by the Lebanese army, cleansed Arsal outskirts of Nusra Front terrorists.
