3 Druze Sheiks attacked by armed men at a cemetery in Beirut

Share:

Armed men entered on Wednesday the cemetery of the Druze in Beirut and assaulted three Druze Sheikhs, National News Agency reported on Wednesday

According to the report four cars arrived to the cemetery which is located next to the Druze house (Dar al-Tayfeh) in Verdun, Beirut between 8:30 and 9:00am, armed men in civilian clothes descended and assaulted the Sheikhs, after which they fled. During this time the Internal Security Forces charged with guarding the cemetery  did not prevent the cars from entering the cemetery nor did they interfere to prevent the assault .

One of the Sheiks was seriously injured in his head and was taken to the hospital . 2 cars belonging to members of the  charity association that were parked at the cemetery were destroyed by the assailants.

The Druze Charitable Solidarity Association later called on the Druze to rally in front of the organization’s headquarters on Thursday at 4:00pm to condemn this incident.

Update : The name of the Druze Sheikh that was seriously injured is Jihad el Deek according to Ya Libnan sources

      same happened May 8,2008, this useless army stood watching Future TV burn ,even the captain in charge there back then, a shiite helped Hizbollah to eneter the TV. This Garabge army need to be dismantled ,it is a division oh Hizbollah or 1/2 division, commanded previously by Soleiman who made a dal in Nahr ekl Bared with Assad to become a president , same now the louzu Kahwaji and the intelligence commander are pleasing Hizbollah in hope to be elected president,Those F maronite and am one of them  sold this f country for their love of chairs, since they left their Paysano life and saw the money after independence all what the Maronite became a lover of money and greedy leaders  ,not generalizing of course.
      You can’t built a country with Shiite in power, they have no sense of state , look at Iran and Iraq, and Syria, without the Sunni in rule you have chaos.You cant have a country with a community that doesn’t stop on producing babies regardless if they have shelter, food and money and no vision

         I agree with everything you say in general but this statement is kind of unagreeable”without the Sunni in rule you have chaos”
        The protests in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen? Those were Sunni dictators.

        In societal studies, it has been shown that when women are given at least a grade 8 education, the birthrates will fall. We ‘men’ are basically incapable of not boinking away at anything that’s open – even holes in a fence. 😉
          The sad sight of a woman in Kenya who has managed to drag 5 of her 7 children through the dessert of Ethiopia to an ‘aid station’ tells us that she has been kept as ignorant as the sheep. As one of the aid workers said, ‘At night you hear them rolling around with any woman they lay down beside for the night.’ Production for the next round of nutrient-starved brains.
          Oh well … someone will hand the male progeny a gun one day and send them back into Ethiopia or Somalia.
        Or … to a cemetery.

  11. What do you think Mr. Nassrallah!!! Should we blame this on Israel, or on the United States… WAIT!!! WAIT!!! Better yet, we can blame it on Gaddafi… But you Mr. Nassrallah, and your puppet Aoun are so innocent, and work for a better future for Lebanon…
    NOW BACK TO REALITY… It is such a surprise that the Shieks get assulted after you and Aoun get upset with Jumblat for not agreeing with you on everything. Or as we say… He did not say’How high” when you said “JUMP”… To Mr. Idiot Nassrallah, and idiot Aoun, Lebanon does not need Israel or the united States when looking for enemies. You are the biggest enemy of Lebanon, and you are the most destructive spoiled child…
    It is time Mr Nasrallah to syand behind hyour words… It is time to face your failures… If you say you are for the protection of Lebanon; if you truly believe that you are going to protect Leebanon from the enemies!!! Then you better take a final good look at your self in the mirror of truth, say your last prayers, then grab yourself a nice long rope……… GO FIND YOURSELF A NICE TREE… From there; you can figure out what you should do…

      Sadly, that’s just what HA and their ‘backers’ are trying to get you to do.  Just resist violent impulses (as hard as that may be) and deal with the street-turds in their own good time.  Have patience, too.

      1. patience, bless your heart for your comment to resist. i have allways found it remarkeble that no reverse  incident took place as it does not take much technology or money for non march 8 disinchanted people to pull of stunts like the bombing in antelias.incidents like that are extremely dangerous and effective in destabalizing in the best of times as they used to happen in the old days. again i give credit and respect for any lebanese on anyside that shuns violence and rogue behaviour even though at times it feels like no good deed goes unpunished.

      Go ahead and take revenge. You’ll probably accuse the innocent Christians in the Shouf and start killing women and children like you did before. This time you have to deal with men that will kick your ass.

        Dude you make it seem that we just killed women and children and were afraid of your men or something? Please!!! I hate violence, but don’t come here acting like you all were so innocent and did not kill women and children. And don’t say that they “will kick your ass”. Why don’t you go and ask people and read about who kicked whose ass?.

        1. libnan1 Avatar

          I don’t have to ask people, I just have to ask my mom and my sister. I don’t like violence either, my response to the punk that wanted it to take revenge. Last time people like him took revenge, they killed women and old people. The only people in my town that got killed were few old people and couple of women.
          In 1975 when Kamal J. was killed who did your people take revenge on? The priest that was driving down the street and the children that were playing as I was told. Were these people that killed Kamal beik. 
          In 1982 who did you take revenge on, Geagea and company !! No, again the elderly and women. Churches were leveled and on on. 
          My point was that if anyone feel that you need to take revenge take it on the people that did harm to you, not the innocent. Your buddy implied that HA and Aoun were responsible for the harm caused to the 3 sheiks. These are men that would kick some ass, your leader knows that very well.
          As for who kick ass last time, I saw the images in Chwaifat. What do you call that? So no one should threaten with revenge because they come out on the losing side.

          I have a home in the Chouf, but only go there once in a while. The Christians were no angels, please dont recall the massacres etc, etc. But the Druze as proven in history, take advantage of their revenge in totally wrong ways, when Kamal Jumblatt was killed instead of going and fighting Syria, the PSP went and killed 300 Christian civilians in the Chouf, it would have been less disgusting if it was just done by m16s and AK47s, but the fact is that the Druze slaughtered the Christians with mainly axes, and metal tools beheading the Christians or axing civilians in their homes. The other ironic thing is that in the Chouf almost every single Christian supported Kamal Jumblatt and had portraits of Kamal Jumblatt in their houses, so clearly the PSP slaughtered the Christians not because of their political beliefs but they wanted to cleanse the Chouf from the Christians. During the Damour massacre a priest called Jumblatt and said everyone in this town supports you, can you help us? And Kamal Jumblatt said there is nothing he can do. In 1983, 50000 Christians were kicked from their homes, is that right to? libnan1 is talking reality, Druze is 3% of this country, 28% of this country is Shi’ite, if Nasrallah wants to fight the Druze it will be done in a month. The point is that the Druze killed their own supporters, because of their religion, no other militia did such thing. Dont respond to me with Sabra Chatila, Karantina, i know the Christians were no angels. The reason the Druze were most of the time sucessful is because the PSP blows with the wind to save themselves, and never fought outside their stronghold the Chouf.

        I can’t reply to your post below because there is no reply button, so I’m replying here. Like I said before, don’t act all innocent and pretend like we were the only ones that killed women and children. It was wrong but it was not just the Druze. Plus don’t say that revenge is not good when everybody in Lebanon takes revenge. Your sect and Aoun’s sheep are no angels….Also, when I said last time, I was talking about the civil war which was very unfortunate but I’m sure that nobody kicked our ass. And what images in Chwaifat are you talking about?? What do you mean “What do you call that”?

        1. libnan1 Avatar

          “Your sect and Aoun’s sheep are no angels”, there are many criminals in my sect, no argument there. That does not mean innocent people get killed because they belong to my sect or any sect for that matter.
          As far as Aoun, the Lebanese army he commanded never intentionally killed innocent people. Never stopped people and killed them because they belonged to a sect. Never leveled religious places, we are proud of that. He tried to unify Lebanon to no avail.
          As long as people still think about revenge and almost always innocent people get killed by revenge, we will never have a civilized country. People will get their asses kicked this time if they try to take revenge, that was my initial comment, if you go read it again, and not your twisted response.

        Who told you that Aoun’s army never killed innocent people? Were you there? That’s your problem and the problem of many Lebanese. That’s why we fight each other because you treat Aoun like God by writing him poems and other people do the same thing with their stupid leaders and so emotions are very high and the fighting begins. ALL Lebanese should stop thinking that the leaders of their respective sects are God!!
        By the way, my response to your previous comment was not twisted. You said that the Druze kill only innocent women and children and I was saying that it’s not true. However, I do agree with you and Beiruti (from answer below) that the Druze made a huge mistake when Kamal Jumblatt was killed. I’m aware of that and sad that it happened.

        And this is directed to Beiruti because he doesn’t have a reply button: Of course when you are a minority you have to go with the wind, but you can’t deny that the Druze are great fighters. Plus, who said that they didn’t fight outside the Chouf?. I don’t think that’s true, because I was old enough during the ugly civil war and I can assure you that it’s not true.

        But regardless, the whole war sucked and I hope nobody has to take revenge or kick anybody’s ass because war is horrible for all…

        1. Beiruti Avatar

          Yeah of course the Druze fought in West Beirut and other places, but they never really worried or put as much effort in any other place except the Chouf. They were great fighters because they were united and all supported one ideology and one thing in common everyone followed one leader and one movement. While the Christians too were brave fighters, i dont need to tell you im sure you have seen it in your life or on videos. The Christians are divided and i wish we were like the Druze, lets face it if the Christians were like the Druze we’d still be the majority in Lebanon. Yet one Christians supports Aoun, the other supports Geagea and Gemayel, the other loves Asad and the SSNP and one loves Chamoun, how are we supposed to have a unity?

  22. greetings mazen, i am replying to your comment as libnan1 does not have a reply button (conspiracy lol) no doubt we are not born experienced or wise and our history shows that we dont exactly deserve any awards for past deeds, but life can only be understood backwards and  must be lived forward. the biggest shame is that not everyone learned that nothing got accoplished from  the past and words are just as injurious as bullets with an emotional culture like ours with a pride that sometimes is somewhat unhealthy. it saddens me to see both of you like this when non of  this will make  a difference 500 years from now  when we are all gone. i direct my comment to you and libnan1 not to be critical or judgemental but to encourage you to consider a higher possibilty than the current state of mind, why live  this divided when maybe we dont have to.

      Geo metro, I really appreciate your response and agree with you 100%. You are right, nothing gets accomplished by talking about the past and I always hate it when people in Lebanon do that, but this guy libnan1 gives you no choice no matter how many times I or other people here try to reason with him. Look at the poems that he writes about Aoun!! It’s that mentality and Immaturity that will keep Lebanon the way it is and I’m sad to say that. Some people are blind followers and you can’t change their minds no matter what you say (even in a good way).

      But you are right, I just got emotional and didn’t mean to say hurtful things….If I did, I apologize.

      1. thanks for your reply and you owe me no apology my friend, i am very aware of his comments and his poams and here is how i try to look at it.
        there is an old saying  that states you must become rich for the rich,poor for the poor, greek for the greek, jew for the jew etc and what i get out of it is that i am obligated to look through peoples eyes to see what they see and attempt to feel what they feel in order to be more understanding of why they say and do the things that they so that i am more effective and qualified  in how i can reach out to them.  his poams can be playfull and  humerous but some comments are very provocative  and an indication that something really bad happened to make him feel this way, i am sure he has his reasons and my only hope is that he realizes that he should not close the door forever and focus on how much he hates brand A and how perfect  brand B is when the reality is all the brands are an effective tool to cause outrage and divide us as people. either way i am still hopefull as he has shown his warmer side numerous times and for a moment both of you sounded like two brothers arguing lol.which to me gives a lot of hope.happy friday.

          Greeting Geo, I’m not hateful by any means. People criticize my poems but never a hate word in them. They are addressed in a positive manner to Aoun and never an insult to anyone. Some people look at my poem as insults just because I praise Aoun. I don’t know Aoun and never meet the man. I just like his leadership, the only non criminal Christian leader.
          I was not of age during the civil but I read details about it from independent sources. I never defended the criminals from my sect (Christian), I’ve always been a defender of the innocent that were killed by acts of revenge.
          As you said life can only be understood backwards and history is a good teacher. If you back and look at our history, since 1860 it does repeat itself every 20 – 30 years. This is the fault of the Christians by not adopting to their environment. We finally got a leader (Aoun) that read history and learned from it.

          Some people look at my comments as provocative but never hateful.

    imagine if we had a compact disc slot in the back of our head and you slide a heavy metal cd in it compared to a beautiful clasical cello melody i think you would agree that the effect in your mood and blood pressure may be completely opposite.
      same way war puts us in a state of mind that poisons our heart and soul and brings the worst of us out, you are correct many behaved badly and did commit unspeakable things by christians and moslems but since i was christian and around christians  i put my own  under the microscope  scriptually and realized that there was a problem. like i told mazen you have your reasons to feel the way you do and i respect that but i would be careful not to put aoun or anyone on a pedestal as they are only human and prone to making mistakes too. either way i  changed by absorbing knowlage and continue to seek knowlage just like you are  and i have no doubt deep inside you are a gem and gentleman and i am grateful for your kind reply.

      Ah well .. good comments and hope for dialogue … but some miss that ‘forgivness’ feature  in their thoughts. Which is probably why they continue to harp on the past numbers here and there instead of looking for a future where bean-counters have less work to do.

      1. forgiveness is the fragrance the violet  leaves on the heel that crushed it.
         a rear view mirror is for split second glance of what is behind  but your eyes must be focused on the destiny  ahead.

          Geo and 5th, 
          Forgiveness is a great word, forgetfulness is a very bad word. I forgave but will never forget. I don’t know your roots but they very well be because your grandparent or parents forgave and left. You might be a product of the prosecution that we have encountered throughout the years. Your parents or grandparents did not immigrate looking for adventure, they left for a reason. My great grandparents forgave and forgot, my grandparents forgave and forgot and when it came to us we forgave and left but we will never forget. The militia mentality that some people still have is troubling. I hope to take my kids back and establish roots in Lebanon…. I doubt this will happen.

        Well … aside from rocks being a favorite way of ‘punishing’ women in certain places, a rock CAN actually kill you if it hits the right spot. Just because one side has more efficient weapons doesn’t mean it’s right to use the less efficient ones.
          The total lack of understanding of too-deep feelings by both sides is the problem; along with the fact the kids’ should be in school instead of out throwing rocks, of course. Propaganda by both sides never seems to end anyway … but ‘doesn’t happen’ doesn’t really tell any truth either, since the world has seen some things which indicate it’s not all sweetness and roses in Israel either. Propagandists using those ANCIENT scripts will keep this going forever … soon we can call it ‘cultural events’ and set dates for it perhaps.

     forgiveness is a process and not an event, at times it was easy and at times it was difficult  especially when  the offender makes light of your wounds  and insist  on smeling l like roses. if you are curious i left lebanon at the age of 13 in 1977 and totaly disconnected from family,friends and politics. compared to others i have seen nothing and i dont feel i have the right to make light of what you or others had to endure , no doubt we all get abused to an extent one way or another due to the world we live in and i totaly agree with you that we should not forget as the expensive lesson would be a total loss. i am curious about your inspiration to move back as i made the trip recently and i have very mixed feelings(not political) that i will glady share with you off the record if you like.

       It is interesting, to me at least, to see how similar thoughts are utilized by us … and I am amazed at how far back in time some go too. Trying to find the first human who had the thought can be a chore … but surely all the paraphrasing can be equally useful. Here’s a few about ‘light’ … perhaps I used them here before, but some can be repeated for effect. 🙂  LOL

      “Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night.” Edgar Allan Poe–

      “Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow–it has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.” — Shakti Gawain

      “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”  – Martin Luther King, Jr.

      “In the beginning there was nothing. God said, ‘Let there be light!’ And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.” — Ellen DeGeneres
