BEIRUT – Lebanon has identified the bodies of six of its soldiers found along the Syrian border in an area held by Islamic State until three days ago, sources in the president's office said.
The Lebanese army launched an offensive this month which ended with Islamic State militants leaving their last foothold along the border on Sunday.
Since then the army has found 10 bodies in the area. DNA tests confirmed that six of those belonged to Lebanese soldiers, the sources and local media reported on Wednesday.
