Militants from Syria withdrew from Lebanese borders today after seizing the border town of Arsal, reports the BBC.
The militants left after a truce was brokered after days of fighting between the Syrian rebels and the Lebanese army.
Lebanon’s government Thursday announced that an extra 12,000 troops would be deployed to stabilise areas under attack by the militants.
Lebanon has long complained that fighters belonging to Syrian militant groups have tried to seize Lebanese border towns.
