إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Fierce clashes erupted in the northern city of Tripoli on Friday afternoon following the death of a Jabal Mohsen resident by gunfire.
"Sounds of gunfire shots were heard in Tripoli as sniper activity was recorded between (the city's neighborhoods of) Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh,” the state-run National News Agency reported.
Hand grenades were also hurled on several fighting frontiers like Syria street, Baal Al-Darawish, Talaat al-Omari, the vegetable market and Souq al-Qameh, the NNA added.
Friday's clashes erupted after Taleb Assi,who hails from Jabal Mohsen, died of his wounds after being hit with gunshots in the northern region of al-Qobbeh.
Assi was pronounced dead at al-Sayyida Hospital in the northern city of Zgharta.
The NNA noted that army troops present in the North responded to the sources of fire.

As usual... Tripoli is shown as a "hub of terrorism"... here is the real story... 2 guys were were shot in el2ibbeh Taleb Assi (Alawite) from Jabal Mihsin and Ahmad Eid from Deir 3mar (Sunni, a distant relative of Wissam Eid) they could have been shot over a game of cards for all we know but of course the assumption is that it's a "sectarian" attack since it happened in Tripoli... I have family in both neighborhoods... there are zi3ran on both sides... but only Assad's parties in the city, whether Alawite or Sunni, are organized and takes advantage of every event to make this city look bad and never miss a chance to kill innocent civilians as they did to these neighbourhoods in the 80's... I normally don't comment on this site but just please if your not from Tripoli and you don't know the city's culture and history... please keep your nasty words to yourself (Sagh)

they were not paraded and u know it.
They were killed/injured and then red cross was called for the injured. Hizbos/army intelligence shoot dead a syrian and arsalis opened fire not knowing they were LAF...

Ali bin abi Taleb radiya Allahu 3anhou once said " I never spoke to an ignorant person without him beating me." I feel bad for u... You r really just a hateful person that claims to be a follower of Jesus but knows nothing about his teaching.. You embody everything that's wrong with Lebanon and the reason people like me can never go back...

Time to build up the Lebanese armed forces and re-institute the draft and a national reserve and crush all militias.

This picture was put on Naharnet some time ago in 2013, maybe weeks ago. In it a cat was crossing with its catch, well, it's January 2014, the cat still has not finished his crossing, and Tripolitans are still shooting and killing each other. I guess that says a lot about us Lebanese.
