One person was killed and four people were injured in clashes between the districts of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen in the northern city of Tripoli, the state-run National News Agency reported Sunday.
NNA said Ali Abdul Qader Suweid was killed at noon Sunday from sniper fire in Bab al-Tabbaneh.
Layla Ramadan, Taleb Deeb, Mariana al-Sheikh and Mohammed Zafer were wounded at dawn in renewed rocket attacks and gunfire between the rival neighborhoods.
The fighting subsided at around 3:00 am, NNA said.
But intermittent gunfire continued to be heard in the two districts and their surrounding areas, the agency added.
Tripoli, Lebanon's second city, is the scene of frequent Syria-related violence pitting Sunnis from Bab al-Tabbaneh against members of the minority Alawite community, to which Syria's President Bashar Assad belongs.
Alawites reside mainly in Jabal Mohsen.

Thats what the takfiris said during the civil war, guess what that is more than 30 years ago, you can't take a single handful alawite enclave, yet you think you could win against Hezbollah, very dumb indeed.

@lincomycin , it's mentality like yours is what has ruined the country why don't you ask what is the real reason these groups shoot at each other? It's to keep people that are in charge of lebanon in power, the army could disarm everyone of the thugs but the government chooses not to .

What a waste of life and waste of bullets. You could have enjoyed your time drinking coffee and eating ba2lewi instead of fighting a senseless war.

Tripoli is a city of tolerance and beautiful co existence, better than Beirut actually. Unfortunately it is being overwhelmed by some extremists who certainly do not represent the citizens of that city. in fact extremism is sweeping the whole country and yet most Lebanese who are decent are being subjected to this extremism
