Lebanon Captures Islamic Strongholds in Tripoli

After days of fighting Islamists in Tripoli, Lebanon, Lebanese commandos, backed by helicopters took the headquarters of the Islamists, according to a report in Lebanon's Daily Star.

The fighting has left 42 dead and 150 wounded over the past few days.

When the Lebanese troops went to take a mosque they believed to be full of terrorists they found it empty. The working theory is that the ISIS-affiliated terrorists shaved their beards, changed their clothing and escaped with the civilian population.

So far 163 Islamic terrorists have been arrested.
