The possibility that the Lebanese army carry out the anticipated Arsal operation instead of Hizbullah is “ruled out,” a military source has said.
“Should the battle erupted, it will be launched from Syrian territory and Hizbullah will carry it out with support from the Syrian army,” the source told al-Hayat newspaper in remarks published Sunday.
“The Lebanese army's mission would be to protect the eastern border and prevent militants from retreating towards Lebanese territory or from taking hostage the (refugee) encampment that lies in the al-Malahi area in Arsal's outskirts,” the military source added.

Just posting, Lebanon, next to Syria, has to deal with a number of militants related problems, the Lebanese army has raided villages to catch terrorists (ISIS?) periodically and their are refugee camps there as well. Arsal is a town over there.
