The Army Command said in a statement: “A family dispute in Britel between two citizens escalated into shooting using light military weapons. An army force raided the area at dawn and arrested several suspects for possessing ammunition and military equipment.”

In a normal country, it would read "Police responded to armed disturbance". In Lebanon it takes an army raid (maybe preceded by removing political cover). Arm the army, disarm the populace.
