Lebanese Soldier Killed in Drive-by Shooting in Tripoli
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The Lebanese army carried out raids in the northern city of Tripoli on Thursday after a soldier was killed in a drive-by shooting, the military and a radio station said.
The army said in a communique that two masked men riding a motorcycle killed Fadi al-Jubaili, an army warrant officer, at around 6:15 am after opening fire on him in the area of Boulevard.
Al-Jubaili was heading to work when he was killed, it said.
Military police launched an investigation into the murder, the communique added.
Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said the military carried out raids in the area to arrest the suspects.
It later reported that Dahham al-Sheikh Jilati, a Lebanese, and a Syrian named Aaqbeh Hamish were apprehended on suspicion of killing the soldier.
Also Thursday, Internal Security Forces Corporal Samer Dandashi escaped unharmed after he came under fire in the Tripoli area of Bab al-Ramel.
On Wednesday, an 11-year-old boy was killed from sniper fire in Tripoli.
The clashes renewed after an Alawite resident from the Jabal Mohsen neighborhood died when unknown assailants opened fire at him near al-Ridani bakery, NNA said.
Tripoli has been rocked by repeated bouts of violence linked to the conflict in neighboring Syria, pitting its Sunni majority, who largely support the rebels, against the Alawite minority, who back President Bashar Assad.
Alawites make up 11 percent of the city's population. Sunnis account for 80 percent.
The Lebanese army, that has deployed in the city to calm the situation, has come under fire from gunmen from both sides. Several soldiers have been killed and injured in the different rounds of fighting that the city has witnessed.

So they sent our soldiers to act as a punching bag with no clear orders in how to end this situation. Dear government, issue clear and precise orders, arrest gunmen and the people financing them no matter how high up they are, use brutal force with anyone attempting to harm soldiers or incite civil strife, enough is enough.

The lebanese army is defending the jabal mohsen from the tripolites.
If not, the syrian army would intervene to safeguard the jabal mohsen alawite residents with lebanese passeports.

This is not different from car assassinations of only M14 politicians.
Those blind people calling qatar and ksa that rebuild all Lebanon infrastructure during Hizbollah 2006 orders from Iran to kidnap Israeli soldiers can come forward and tell me who killed Al Hajj that fought extremism and defended the state. Wait someone said nahr al bared is a red line for the leb army to enter it? Who might that be?

you guys never cease to amaze me. Explain me why the troubles and violence in tripoli is either HA or M6 or M14 fault?
It is simply between 2 ethnic groups regardless of their affiliation.
it is the government's fault for lacking to take decisive measures to stop this vicious cycle of violence and impose law and order.
I think blaming HA, M8 or M14 or any other group is simply nonsense.
the gov't must teach and force everybody to differ with words not with violence and killings.

Rifi is behind at least a couple of the Mafias in Tripoli ...
Lebanon: Tripoli's alleyway commanders to be sacrificed
" Saleh extorts levies from vegetable stalls along the banks of the Abu Ali River, and receives funding from Justice Minister Ashraf Rifi and chief of staff of former Prime Minister Najib Mikat, Hajj Rami al-Rifai."

Oh, because we have to listen to your fairytales instead about an invasion of Zombie Takfiris (Hezbollah's new Zionists) and Divine Bashar who's the bringer of good to Lebanon ?
Spare us the BS, we live in the 21st century where propaganda is a thing of the past and where your lies and illusions only work on brainwashed sheep !

@Southern : the moment I will see "Patriotic" Aounies and Sunnis in the resistance, I will join it.
The moment your fake resistance drops the words "Islamic Resistance in Lebanon" and removes the BLASPHEMOUS ALLAH holding a Kalashnikov, I will also join it.
The resistance should have nothing to do with God or Islam !
Until then, your resistance is a lie ! The only resistance you are doing is against the establishment of total control of the Lebanese state over its territory!

Also, the moment you acknowldege that Bashar is as much an ennemy to Lebanon as is Israel, I will be the first on the front line fighting Bashar and Takfiris and Israelis altogether to protect my country which is GREATER THAN HEZBOLLAH !

The Army and Resistance are on the same side, fighting the same Salafi takfiris. So whatever M14 Geagea propaganda you can take up, wont affect what is happening on the ground.
