Several Hurt as Residents Clash with ISF over Minieh Building Violation
Several people were wounded Friday in a clash between the Malas family and the Internal Security Forces over the removal of a construction violation in the northern town of Minieh.
State-run National News Agency said a spat broke out between a man identified as Abu Ali Malas and ISF members “as they tried to remove a construction violation” in Minieh.
Meanwhile, Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said “clashes erupted in Minieh between the ISF and members of the Malas family, leaving five people wounded, including two ISF members.”
It later reported that the standoff had come to an end without elaborating any further.
In November, three ISF members were injured when gunmen opened fire on them in the northern district of Zgharta and in the city of Tripoli as they clamped down on construction violators.
