According to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the two men were caught Thursday afternoon at a security checkpoint in Dahr al-Baidar in Lebanon's east, near a road linking the country with Syria.

The Military Police is interrogating two individuals who were arrested last Sunday at the Internal Security Forces checkpoint in Dahr al-Baydar after a quantity of explosives was found inside their car, An-Nahar newspaper has reported.

Lebanon said an Israeli attack wounded six people as Israel said it targeted a "Syrian terrorist" who planned anti-Israel attacks under Iranian instructions.

Minister of Energy and Water Joe Saddi has seriously started to consider resigning from the government because the cabinet majority is “dumping the crisis on him and does not want to pursue a genuine, effective solution” for the electricity file, informed sources said.

Asked by MTV about the possibility of Saddi’s resignation, MP Melhem Riachi of the Lebanese Forces said: "If they continue to obstruct his simple requests and do not do what he wants, then yes, he will not remain in the government."
