Government Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr indicted 34 people with the fatal incident that targeted army troops in East Lebanon.
The judge issued the indictments on Monday, the National News Agency reported.
According to the report, two of the suspects had been apprehended while the identity of 25 others had been uncovered.
It added that Saqr also requested summoning the head of the municipality of Arsal for hearing.
Two Lebanese Armed Forces members were killed earlier in February when their patrol team pursued Khaled Hmayed – a wanted man, in the Beqaa area of Arsal. Hmayed’s family and friends surrounded the patrol force and opened fire, killing the two soldiers and injuring six others.
The incident prompted widespread condemnation from political and religious figures, while residents took to the streets blocking roads with burning tires to show their support for the military institution.
