إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The army deployed heavily on Saturday in Beirut's southern suburbs to end clashes that erupted between two families in al-Jamous neighborhood, media reports said.
According to the state-run National News Agency, gunbattles broke out between Nassereddine and Meqdad families in the neighborhood.
Heavy fire was heard in nearby areas.
The reason behind the incident remains unknown.
MTV quoted later the army command as saying: “We will not tolerate any security breach and will strike with an iron fist.”
NNA said that several injuries were reported and an apartment was set ablaze after it was hit by a mortar shell.
The army command issued a communique later saying: “at 11:00 am an individual dispute occurred between two families in Beirut's southern suburbs.”
The statement described the dispute erupted over previous disagreements between the two families.
“The dispute developed into gunfights between members of the families, prompting an army unity to deploy in the area and restore calm.”
The statement said that the army is carrying out raids to detain those involved in the incident and refer them to the competent authorities.

Dude, though I say it with warm-hearted humour, but just as one doesn't simply walk into Mordor, one doesn't simply mess with the Moqdads! You do so much as cut off one of them in traffic, and expect to have your family house set on fire. I went out with one of the clan, and I count my graces every day to still be alive...

The litmus test for the army and their program. They now have just cause to search dahyieh arresting those involved and searching premises for weapons. Let's see if this expedition is legitimate and they are truly able to enter the forbidden. God bless our protectors.

Once the Tripoli security plan succeeds, Dahye must be next. No exception. Scum are in all colors.

I pray Iran will also lose its primary base in the near future. Lebanon is for us, and only for us proud Lebanese. The Arab spring will eventually reach Tehran, the sanctions and the cost of the Syrian war are crippling Iran. Be gone. we are free, we choose our destiny, we can resolve our differences on our own.

Incase you haven't read the news lately, your beloved takfiris are the one bleeding the grounds, they are loosing it on every front. The conflict in Syria will be won by the Syrian people it's army and the Resistance. So whatever conclusions you may have, I can only tell you, wait for the outcome, which is the doom of your american takfiris.

Even your american CNN, Al Jazeera, BBC etc. Admits that the takfiris suffered a great defeat in Qalamoun. Their supply lines from Lebanon were all cut off, and now they are loosing their last remaining ground in Homs countryside including areas around Dimasq, this is not just Al Manar, read all media articles.

I see you have no information about Aleppo what so ever, the takfiris have been loosing huge in that area recently, due to their fierce infighting with da3ish, and SAA advances.

What point are you proving? You will twist whatever words i ever say on this forum, this is not the first time. These 2 families are in full dialogue right this minute, there was a misunderstanding between them. There has been many incidents like these, and it happens in Lebanon all the time, not just in Dahieh.
