On 15 November nine people were arrested in Lebanon over the 12 November double suicide bombings that killed at least 43 people and injured over 240 in the capital of Lebanon Beirut. The bombings, claimed by the Islamic State (IS), targeted Hezbollah strongholds in the southern parts of the city. Hezbollah has experienced earlier attacks by IS and other Sunni terrorist groups in retaliation over support of President Bashar al-Assad’s in the Syrian war for the past years. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah said the fight against IS will continue and they will “search for open fronts with Daesh (IS)”.
