W460

Security Forces were pelted with stones and sticks on Wednesday during an attempt to remove a property violation in al-Rwaisat area in Jdaidet al-Metn injuring one serviceman.

A dispute erupted between the security forces and residents in the area who started pelting them with stones, plastic bottles and wooden sticks in a bid to prevent them from implementing an order to remove the violation.

The violators were previously notified several times to clear-off a two storey building they illegally built on someone else's land but failed to comply with the warning, reports said.

According to media reports, an engineer identified as Karl Abou Jawdeh from Jdaidet al-Rwaisat has filed a complaint about a group of Arabs raising construction on the property of his father, Jean Abou Jawdeh, without any interference from the local authorities despite submitting a legal removal request.

People started throwing plastic bottles, wooden sticks and stones at the police injuring one.

The Daeshist Syrians like Terrorists likely work for the Shiite settlers of Rwaysit Jdeideh who began invading and infesting the region in the 1990s. They expropriate and settled large chunks of empty lands and places formally occupied by the Palestinians and deserted since 1976. This is part of the Zionist like ongoing demographic change being inflicted on the Metn, Baabda, Jbeil, Haddath and Jezzine. After the end of the war "Rich" Shiite expats who are in reality financed by Hezballah stated buying chunks of land in Christian areas where there was a historical Shiite presence, sometimes alleged and minimal, and grating it to Shiites from the Beqaa and the South. These settlers started building on what they were given and what is not theirs, just like in Dahieh. Unfortunately these settlement grew in size exponentially after 2005 with the help of FPM officials and MPs.
