The Abdullah Azzam Brigades confirmed the death of its leader, Majid al Majid; vowed to continue to target Iran and Hezbollah; and threatened attacks against "the Jewish oppressors." The group claimed that Majid personally oversaw the twin suicide attacks on the Iranian Embassy in Beirut in November. Security forces arrested a Palestinian man linked to the attacks. A Lebanese security source said 14 rockets fired from Qusayr in Syria landed in Arsal.

The army discovered an arms cache in Hermel.
