An observation plane surveys the area around Sunday's attack on the Lebanese army, in Sidon southern Lebanon, while soldiers carry out raids and searches in the area December 19, 2013. Gunmen attacked two army checkpoints outside the southern Lebanese city of Sidon on Sunday, killing a soldier and wounding three others, the army said. Four attackers were also killed in the clashes around the Mediterranean city, which was the scene of heavy fighting six months ago between the army and supporters of a Sunni Muslim cleric who backs rebels in neighbouring Syria's conflict.
