إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A clash broke out on Friday between the army and a suspect wanted on drug dealing charges, reported the National News Agency, as a man was killed and four other were hurt, including two troops, in a shooting in Akkar.
NNA said that the shootout erupted between a security patrol and Murad Zoaiter as he was being chased in al-Zoaiteriyeh neighborhood in al-Fanar.
He was wounded in the clash and later transferred to Mar Youssef Hospital in Dora where he died from his injuries “despite the intense medical care he received,” added NNA.
In an official statement, the army said its patrol “came under gunfire from Murad Abbas Munir Zoaiter, who is wanted on 24 arrest warrants over theft, assault and drug dealing offenses.”
“The members of the patrol responded in kind,” the statement added, noting that Military Police has launched a probe into the incident.
Soon after news of his death broke out, members of his clan in al-Zoaiteriyeh fired shots and rocket-propelled grenades into the air.
The military arrived at the scene to contain the tensions.
Meanwhile, residents of al-Zoaiteriyeh told al-Jadeed television that they reject any clashes with the army.
They deemed Zoaiter's death as an “assassination because the members of the army carried out a dirty operation, fleeing the scene without transporting him to hospital.”
They accused the “gang of the army intelligence, led by Khaled Abou Ali, of killing Zoaiter,” reported al-Jadeed.
“We will not remain silent and we will not receive Zoaiter's corpse before the arrest of Abou Ali,” demanded the residents.
They said that the victim was wanted on shooting offenses.
Clashes have frequently erupted between the army and members of the Zoaiter family in the Zoaiteriyeh area in its pursuit of wanted suspects.
Separately, NNA said gunfire erupted near an army checkpoint in the al-Sadaqa area in the northern region of Jurd Akkar.
The shooting resulted in the death of B. M. and the wounding of M. S. D. and A. B. in addition to two soldiers, the agency added.

lol @exfpm
this lowlife gotta be the lowest scumbag humanity has ever known. He pours his filth and hatred on every article every day and has the nerve to accuse others of what he really is. Wars are a necessary evil to rid humanity of parasites such as him.

yes the zoiaters and meqdads are their own separate army. They grow hashish, sell narcotics, and kidnap Turkish pilots right under the nose of the noble resistance.

The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns this barbaric act by the LAF and considers it a hostile heinous crime against the Zoiater clan. The Zoiater clan are an extension of the resistance and the Republic consider him a martyr and will bestow Iranian citizenship upon him.

What makes Zoaiteriyeh different than some parts of Arsal? Nothing. They both do not belong in Lebanon
The army should wipe out all forms of militancy and betrayals within our society.

The army communique is the true version, and anything else is pretexts to cover up. Al-Zoaiteriyeh and some notable areas of Lebanon need to understand that things are changing in Lebanon, the army mood is shifting more towards being impartial than being influenced by any side it may be. The Z3ayterr clan yesterday had no right parading carrying weapons or shooting into the air, that simply defeated any position they might have had towards exonerating themselves. A thug who has so much hanging on his head cannot be exonerated as they said, he is as guilty as hell, then whoever shoots at the army, the army has every right to return fire. The residents of Al-Zoaiteriyeh must understand that their repeated acts of bravado and of intimidation is only alienating people from them, and to be honest, most people in Lebanon now carry as much weapons as them, so no need for all this Ramboesque display, time to respect the law.
