Gunmen kidnapped a Lebanese citizen from the border town of Arsal Saturday morning and took him to the outskirts of the northeastern region, a security source told The Daily Star.
The Arsali was identified as Ahmad Hujeiri, also known by his nickname Ahmad Hadiyih.
Jihadists fighting in Syria have infiltrated the outskirts of Lebanon and were engaged in a serious battle with the Army last month in an attempt to overrun the border town.
Last week, ISIS jihadists reportedly executed a man from Arsal for his ties with Hezbollah.
Conflicting reports have emerged over the reason for Hujeiri's abduction, with some sources in the town saying the man was a trader who worked with the jihadists, while others claimed that Islamists had kidnapped him over his ties to Hezbollah.
A security source told Agence France Presse that the unidentified gunmen kidnapped Hujeiri "because he disagreed with their political views."
An official in Arsal confirmed the kidnapping, and said Hujeiri was accused of "collaborating with Hezbollah.”
