2 Men Assaulted in Jabal Mohsen, Grenade Hurled near al-Zahriyeh Church
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Two men were attacked on Tuesday after their car entered the Tripoli neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen, state-run National News Agency reported, a day after a Jabal Mohsen resident was stabbed and beaten up in al-Qobbeh.
“Gunmen assaulted the two citizens Mohammed Fatfat and Shadi al-Jaam as their car was passing through Jabal Mohsen,” NNA said.
The army intervened and evacuated them from the neighborhood, the agency added.
The incident comes on the heels of an attack of a similar nature on Monday, when unknown attackers assaulted a Syrian resident of Jabal Mohsen in the nearby neighborhood of al-Qobbeh.
More than 20 attacks have targeted Jabal Mohsen residents in several areas of Tripoli in recent months.
Separately, Wahib Jerjes and Elie Foufani were lightly injured when a stun grenade was tossed near the St. George Church in the churches street in Tripoli's al-Zahriyeh, NNA said.
Security forces arrived on the scene and launched a probe into the incident, the agency added.
Sectarian tensions between Jabal Mohsen and the rival district of Bab al-Tabbaneh date back to Lebanon's 1975-1990 civil war but have been exacerbated by the conflict across the border in Syria, where Alawite President Bashar Assad is battling a Sunni-led uprising.
The unrest worsened when twin bombings rocked two Sunni mosques in the city, leaving around 45 people dead and 500 others wounded. Several suspects from Jabal Mohsen have been accused of involvement in the bombings.
The two neighborhoods have been rocked by around 20 rounds of deadly sectarian fighting in recent years.

How Sad.... It is so unlike HA to carry out such inhumane acts.

It appears Jabal Mohsen is part of Syria as the flag indicates!

can you blame them? without syria's support and protection they would have all long been slaughtered to the last child by the takfiris that surround them.

Would raising the Lebanese flag instead make them more vulnerable ? Again, I did not expect anything better from a person who sold himself to Iran.

there are so many differences that i know where to start. you cant compare both situations, your parallelism is outright logical fallacy.
-lebanon is not at war with syria, as it was (and still is) with israel. having close ties with a foreign country can be deeemed low patriotism at most. having close ties with a country we're at war with is pure and simple treason.
-the PLO did commit abuses, and many people in the south sought to fight them, but to say they were seeking to massacre everyone is a gross exaggeration and plain lie in fact.
-the takfiris are in a genocidal mindset, they are not seeking to achieve political or military goals, or establish a presence after have been kicked out from their homeland. they just want to exterminate those they consider kufars, and that means everyone who is not them (including moderate sunnis)

also, many people in the south (most people actually) who first had trouble with plo and even welcomed israeli troops with rice, realized later their mistake and became the resistance.
and finally, those who became the resistance did not hold it against the others. when the war was over, they forgave their countrymen and welcomed them back after israel ran off. they didnt snipe them in their houses...

Mowaten, that is just plain wrong to waive that flag in Lebanon. There should be no other nation's flag raised but Lebanese. Christians could say the same thing. Christians are now minorities in many town, surrounded, outnumbered and outgunned. We do not waive the Greek or Italian flag.

thanls to censorship btw, my previous comments dont make much sense anymore. one commenter posting under the name "logical" was saying that supporters of saad haddad were right to take weapons from israel to fight the PLO

Mowaten, jabal mohssen is surrounded by kobeh, tebani, badawi so if there was really a will to go there it would hv been donne long ago... Only few fanatics want that to happened.. But if jabal mohssen leadding family was a litle more compliant with justice it would also help...
Anyway it is a small picture of our country most of us have their own lebanon, pan arab baathist, souria el koubra... u can also find sime phenician ideaologist...
Poor country...

dont put the cart before the horse here. the attacks on jabal mohsen started years before the eid family rejected the summon. and when you see the ISF ex-chief taking openly sectarian positions against them, you can understand they dont trust it.

KSA please dont donate money to LAF, coz they cant/are not allowed to take on few lightly-armed scumbags so what about heavily-armed/brainwashed khomeynist hizbos...

The people of Jabal Mohsen, got every right to defend themselves against the takfiris.

ultraidiot Bashar actually said that about Jabal Mohsen. If you understood Arabic I'd tell you to go watch his Al Mayadeen TV interview hear and see him say it. Bab el Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen are both in Lebanon, their inhabitants are Lebanese no matter the current disarrangement. The filthy Syrian regime should once and for all understand Lebanon is NOT a Syrian province nor will it ever be. We are not one people in two nations. We are two separate peoples in two separate nations, full stop.

Yes there is Saudi flags in every corner of Tabbaneh, and also in the rest of the dark corners of Tripoli. I don't think you have ever been to Tripoli prime, you write & type, but you never have real facts behind your crap. Go to Tripoli and see for yourself.
29 January 2014, 04:26

There are also Al Qaeda flags in Tabbaneh including Syrian Opposition flags.

Thats what the takfiris said they would do, for more than 30 years ago. Never happend, the will of Jabal Mohsen is too strong for the takfiris to win, Jabal Mohsen is fighting for their survival in Tripoli, the only reason the takfiris wants to kill them, is because they see Jabal mohsen as heretics. Which is why they will not conquer the brave people of jabal me7sen

Did they? Were there takifiris 30 years ago dirtbag?
If there were then they were visionaries, they would have averted 2days terrorismo.
28 January 2014, 20:50

Yes there were, already then they were calling upon the salafis to annihilate Jabal mohsen.

somebody please tell this khomeynist that his boyfriend Nassy was allied to Tawheed in the south and that tawheed is M8...

Mystic, most shia scholars view alawites as heretics. What is your take on that?
28 January 2014, 22:58

primey, takfir/khawarij is 14 centuries old...
'Tawhid Movement, which expelled Christians from Tripoli and tried to make it a Caliphate in the 80s.'
BS as usual habib, tawheed are MB not takfir and they didnt fight christians in tripoli, only christians they fought were the zionist traitors of Haddad's SLA in the south. Tawheed fought mainly syrians and their lackeys ADP,SSNP,Lebanese baath,etc... + Israel in the south in coordination with HA.
29 January 2014, 04:21

Tawhid movement were never south of Tripoli cedre, so what you are saying are lies. You are anti Hezbollah, yet you try to defend Tawhids past actions by saying that they worked with Hezb? Not very clever.
The People of Jabal Me7sen held back the Salafi storm for centuries, the Syrian Arab army came and smashed the takfiri siege on Jabal Me7sen. Since then the salafis has hated Syria and Jabal Me7sen, because jabal me7sen is the last barricade against the salafi hordes.
29 January 2014, 04:21

Without Jabal me7sen then Akkar and Tripoli would be completely Salafi controlled, not our army, but the salafis would gladly take everything in their own hands.

Lebzo i didn't see your comment, I wanted to tell you that it is not true that most shia scholars see them as heretics, the great scholar Al Sadr acknowledged them as fellow muslims and so did great sunni scholars aswell in Syria such as Al Bouti.
Even if you see them as heretics, that is ok. Your opinion is for yourself, but it is not up to you to go and kill them for their religion right? That is what the takfiris are doing, and that is not just against Alawis, that is against sunni, shia, druze, christian etc.

@primesuspect,
You said and I quote, "This hill must be flattened."
I heard you calling on your people to fatten a hill.
We know, your culture, has a history and capability of turning a fertile land into a dessert, as evidently you did to the the Arabian Peninsula.
Now, turning a hill to a flat is your second and last know-how, we call it in Chinese: suicide bombing!

khaleeji's erected cities in the desert, some of these cities now world-renowned destinations. your filthy ba'ath boss built a police state where everyone except those at the top were dirt poor. do you understand now, you scum of Latakia, why we are going to burn your filthy regime to the ground?
29 January 2014, 11:40
01
lol proudcameltoe!! khalejis did nothing themselves, they lazily relied on sucking oil from the ground, and used their shiny US dollars to buy nepali slaves. the cities were built on their exploitation and blood. nothing to be proud of, you should be ashamed.
as for your hatred of the secular syrian regime, we already knew your jealousy turned sour into hatred, but you tried to burn it and failed. syrians are patient, incredibly patient, but they never fail to take their revenge. your time will come.

Watch out Tripoli. Christians are not armed and are not attacking anyone. They are not to be attacked. if we dont see the strongest reactions against these attacks, christians will simply stop investing in their Tripoli businesses and Tripoli will slowly leave and move to christian Lebanon. And this will be the beginning of Tripoli withering and dying.
The christian sawaris family got mistreated by Morsi. But when he started doing his accounts, he begged them to return to Egypt.
Iraki killed their christians, and see how they are now.
Tripoli needs its christians more than the christians of Tripoli need it.
This is a threat to all takfiri sheikhs.

Attacks against any civilian is unacceptable.
Loyalty of any civilian to one other than the State of Lebanon is unacceptable.
Arms outside the State are unacceptable.
Choosing who submits to the judiciary and who does not is unacceptable.
Foreign states funneling money and $$ to sectarian groups is unacceptable.
So many unacceptable things are happening in Lebanon where do you start?
