Tribute to the Martyrs of Ashrafiyeh

May God rest the souls of everyone that perished in the Ashrafiyeh attacks. My condolences to the family's and friends of the effected and i hope God gives you the strength to overcome this horrible atrocity. This tragic event hurts Lebanon as a whole and we look forward to the day where the truth will be revealed. Sincerely, A Lebanese who wants peace in his country.

From a Norwegian formerly living Lebanon, my deepest condolences to the victims. My heart goes out to all Lebanese who struggle for a better future of the country. I personally don't see how Lebanon can ever "land on it's feet" with the help of Iran or Syria, but hope there's a way of finding some common ground and a solution with the people that's supported by them.

We are all Ashraffiyeh wherever we are!

Thank you, Naharnet. Don't let the real victims of this tragedy be forgotten.

Thank you Naharnet for giving us this opportunity to offer tribute. Our heart is torn by the suffering this blast has caused to the silent innocent victims and their families. Nothing we can say on this absurd unbearable injustice.
I hope the wounded get better soon.
Rest in Peace for those who gave their life.

From a Swede who was in Lebanon last time 1982. My sincerest condoleances.

Naharnet,
Thank you for this. My condolences to the families of the dead and speedy recovery for the wounded. I heard that the third victim was a single mother providing for three young kids. Is it possible to organize a donation page, or maybe create a trust fund for their education?
I really would love to donate!
Anyway, my thoughts are with lebanon and ashrafieh all the way from Canada.

Let this tragedy be a beginning ...to RESPECT each other and care about every citizen in this beautiful country..avoid politization,hatred..remember what the pope message was...let us treasure life. I was at Prague and saw brass plaques at entrance to every house whose owners were deported in wwII...let us put plaques for ALL our martyrs (including Georgette!) at the sites so we remember to work hard to make it a better country FOR ALL. less talk, less partying,no insults,no killing.....respect each other and respect the law. No better national feeling than our army: For the youth and for the future of Lebanon best is for cdivil marriage and 6 month, not in skybar,but in the ARMY!

May they rest in peace. Our prayers are with their families. May God protect this country from evil doers.

100 victims? There were thousands others in the area that were affected too, especially children that were frightened beyond belief. In every apartment where the glass chattered like an earthquake hit it, everyone was scared, and kids were crying. These mental scars might not go away as quickly, so they are victims also.

May all rest in peace, No one deserves to die in such a tragedy, i pray the families of the victims will have the strength to go on during this difficult time and maybe eventually we will all learn to love each other.. love and peace to everyone..

Another sad day for Lebanon. In the words of Gebran Tueni: "In the name of God We, Muslims and Christians, Pledge that united we shall remain to the end of time to better defend our Lebanon". LAN NARKA3! Allah yir3amkon

Allah yerhamon. Today we feel sad for them and their families. Tomorrow we will all get back to our personal lives. Let us NOT forget them and let us strive to bring the perpetrators to justice. THAT is how we will help the voctims and their families.

God bless their souls. May their death not be in vain.

That death of yet another courageous Lebanese, who struggled to unified the country, may go into history as a chapter of violence and unrest in the ME that was overcome by the legitimate will of the people. As a Brazilian of Lebanese descent I trust that, in the same manner that a vernacular form of democracy was achieved in Latin American, it will also be achieved in the countries that are now experiencing great turmoil, namely, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine.
May the brave Brig. General Al-Hassan, his anonymous bodyguard and those who were killed in Ashrafieh be remembered and honored as martyrs. That the people of the ME may also have strength and vision to struggle against violence its darkness.

Please, for those who are in lebanon and could, help form groups to assist the victims and their families financially.
Although the human losses are irreparable, economic support for the injured and the survivors would greatly help alleviate the pain and defeat the goals who wish to put the lebanese on their knees.

May God give strength to all the families who suffered loss, but also healing for the whole country. Something like this has a lasting effect on us all.May we all again remember that LOVE is the answer and not hate.

What goes around comes around. Those who did this one day, will get theirs. RIP my heroes.

I spent two months in Beirut this summer. I lived near AUST and used to walk down that alley every day after getting out of my service taxi. I knew the shopkeepers there by face and said hi to them every day as I walked by... I hope they were not hurt, my condolences go out to the victims and I hope whoever did this is brought to justice

From Lebanese in Switzerland our prayers are with you, we pray God's justice and wrathful revenge will be speedy and powerful...

My condolences to the victims who have died and to those who are hurt from this terrible crime to humanity. There is a God and one day the evil doers will get their punishment.

may God assist those who are hurt and those who lost loved ones.

It's nice to see people agreeing on something , life is a blessing, don't take it for granted

You kill one innocent person, it's like you killed the whole world. The murderers will have to answer to there crimes sooner or later

Thank you so much for remembering the REAL martyrs and victims. God protect Lebanon.

RIP to all those who have died and suffered due to this un-execuable act of violence. May God heel those wounded pretty quick. We all Muslims & Christians need to keep Faith in God and God will take care of the rest. Who are we to judge anyone? we are going to leave it to God and justice will be served one day and hope that will be sooner than later.

Thank you Naharnet. RIP to all the victims of this terrorist attack. Achrafieh and the whole of Lebanon are always in our hearts and prayers.

nice token of appreciation for the real victims of Achrafieh. we are all victims until the country was truly changed to become an umbreall for justice to all and all abiding by the laws. may God rest the souls of all who died in Achrafieh and elsewhere

The silent majority must rise and make its voice heard. We are all the victims of thugs and criminals. Every single person who ever walked, or drove through that street in Achrafieh was intended as a target. We are all victims of the terror that struck on friday.

God Rest their souls, innocent martyrs of a very dangerous political games that barely anyone will understand in their lifetime.
Allah Yer7amoun, and I wish all the best to their family members.
And I pray to Lebanon to not get dragged into this

I am extremely saddened and angered by this cowardly terrorist and criminal act committed against my beloved country Lebanon and its heart Ashrafieh - Beirut. My sincerest and warmest condolences go to the families of the fallen martyrs, may your soul rest in peace in heaven my brothers and sisters and may God unleash his wrath and punish with a divine iron fist all the murderers who were behind this crime against humanity.

I pray for justice and unity for this country. For strength to keep Lebanon from being torn apart. And for comfort to the families and loved ones of all who were lost or hurt.

May God be with the families of the martyrs. What sadness, what tragedy! What is happening in Lebanon today is no way to respect the dear blood of those who lost their lives in Achrafiyeh.
