Unidentified gunmen open fire on Lebanese army in Tripoli

Share:

Assailants opened fire on a Lebanese army checkpoint in Tripoli on Saturday night, an unnamed security source said.

“Anonymous [shooters] opened fire from a car on an army checkpoint located between Tripoli’s Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh,” the source said.

The report said that one person was injured, adding that the Lebanese soldiers at the checkpoint responded to the gunfire by shooting at the car.

“The car [did not stop] and the armed people in it kept shooting at Jabal Mohsen.”

The report added that there was an exchange of gunfire between Jabal Mohsen and Al-Baranyeh neighborhoods “for a while.”

Now Lebanon

    If these shootings have anything to do with syria, they must be caught, charged with treason and hanged. No BS.
    If has nothing to do with syria, they should still face the same fate!

      On what planet do you live Mr. Leborigine? your comment is disconnected from Lebanon reality! charged with treason – then I would say 50% of Lebanon population should be hanged!

        Hehehehe … well, at least the Alawites farida …. 😉
        But the first sound of shooting and everyone pulls out their guns and joins in. It’s a natural thing.
        Women and kids are used to hiding under beds, or running to the underground parking for the night – to avoid flying lead which just goes everywhere.
        Only happens at night … although this was unusual because it wasn’t Friday.
        In the daytime, mothers can still pick up the quality food ….

        Well we are all sick and tired of Lebanon’s reality! Someone wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, grabs their illegal firearm and decides to shoot someone in the public or the army, then gets away with it and never gets caught. What a disgrace! Then our tourism minister suggests that Lebanon is among the safest mid-east countries. Which planet does he live on?? Maybe mine.

      The problem is, yazidi, that it has as much common direction as the cabinet/government. I am sure the poor soldiers would love to actually take action when they are in the middle of the stupid situations, but being more professional than the ‘armies of gods’, they have to follow orders. And the orders come from the mixed bag holding the purse strings. Now, you may say this is not uncommon for an army, but look at the messy mess at the top. Put the blame where it lies. That ‘sectarian’ batch of incompetent purse-string controllers.
      I remember talking to the cousin of a friend in the ‘army’ back when it had no weapons and Assad was in control, in his small neat room at a pleasantly quiet dormitory overlooking a lovely valley – and he spent his days tending a garden that augmented the food supply, or reading books. On occasion they would gather – like boy scouts – to have a camp-fire on a beach, or to help some community with a small disaster – or, to pretend, using sticks as guns they were acting as a cohesive ‘force’. But there was no real force – it was a sham. And he laughed at the whole situation, but I could see the sadness he felt in his ‘military service’. He read the books to keep his mind alive … and looked forward to a time he would not need to be ‘in service’ to have a livable income, although there seemed no other options at that time.
      Over 40 years I lost contact, and cannot tell you an ending … but in my mind I see the place still, and think how pleasant it was there on a warm serene day surrounded by vegetation and a quiet vista. Perfect vacation spot. In a way, I envy still his ‘moments of seclusion’. But I understand his depression too at being there, and the lack of real direction in a life.
      These days, the LAF (laugh ??) has equipment … but even yet, where is the direction? They ARE and want to be professional soldiers of their country, yet are ordered to ‘accommodate’ that sectarian stupidity which is Lebanon. So they become, more or less, professional mediators between the various factions.
      (Although I was happy to see them take on that bunch from the north who came out of the refugee ‘camp’ to rob banks. The purse-string-holders didn’t like that bit I guess.)
      That kind of professional ‘choice’ takes more courage than just shooting at anything that moves or talks. Like the UN peacekeepers in the south, willing to try at least – by being targets too often. And for the most part (unlike the police) most soldiers I have met seem friendly enough in their professional way, and willing to help a citizen – or a tourist too, if any show up.
       Have some feelings for the ‘boys’ who wish to serve. Direct your shots much higher up the food-chain.
