BAALBEK, Lebanon: The body of a Syrian man was found blindfolded on the outer edge of the northeastern border town of Arsal at dawn Friday, a security source told The Daily Star.
The source said the body of the man, who appeared to be in his mid-30s, was found on rocks in agricultural land in Wadi Ata.
The source said farmers had discovered the body wrapped in a wool blanket and with a gunshot wound to the chest.
The source said the farmers had identified the deceased as a Syrian national. They did not know his name.
Arsal was the scene of five days of deadly gunbattles between the Lebanese Army and Islamist militants from Syria in early August.
The Army has since engaged in intermittent clashes with ISIS and Nusra Front militants near the border.
