MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On November 12, twin blasts hit Beirut’s Burj al-Barajneh neighborhood. At least 41 people died and over 200 were injured. The Islamic State jihadist group claimed responsibility for the attack.
The destroyed perpetrator of the attack was responsible for transferring two suicide bombers, who committed the two blasts, the Lebanese Al-Manar television channel said.
According to the source, the special operation was conducted with the help of the Lebanese Hezbollah group, which has been fighting alongside Damascus against ISIL extremists and other militant groups since 2011.
In the aftermath of the attack, Lebanese security services detained seven Syrians and two Lebanese citizens, alleged organizers and accomplices in the terrorist attacks in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
