Lebanon’s northeastern village of Al-Qaa was in a state of alert Tuesday as fresh suicide bombings rocked the town on Monday evening, injuring eight people.
The overnight attack came only hours after four suicide bombers killed five people and wounded 15 others in the town before dawn.
In the latest violence, three suicide bombers riding motorcycles blew themselves up in the center of the predominantly Christian town, a security source told AFP. One struck in front of a church and the two others in front of the municipality building, the source added.
Lebanese Red Cross chief George Kettaneh said eight people were lightly wounded in the evening bombings.
Security Forces began a comprehensive search of the entire border village, as the army’s Airborne Regiment launched raid operations in the town’s outskirts in search of the suspects.
The army brought in additional reinforcements to the village overnight to prevent further attacks from occurring, a source told the Daily Star.
Meanwhile, the funeral for those killed in the suicide attacks, scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, was postponed for security purposes.
The multiple attacks, involving eight suicide bombers, were the largest yet in the latest bloody massacres by terrorists in Syria throughout Lebanon.
