Man Wounded by Gunshots in Front of Tripoli Hospital

Unknown assailants on Tuesday fired gunshots at a resident of the Jabal Mohsen neighborhood in the northern city of Tripoli.

"Ghazi Abbas Mahmoud was wounded by gunshots in front of Tripoli's Shahine Hospital where he works,” LBCI television said.

Arab Democratic Party's spokesperson Abdul Latif Saleh confirmed these reports as the state-run National News Agency noted that the shooters fled to an unknown destination.

More than 22 attacks have targeted Jabal Mohsen residents in several areas of Tripoli in recent months.

In one of the most recent assaults, Omran Suleiman was shot in the legs on Friday on al-Mallouleh road in the northern city.

Tripoli's two rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen have been rocked by around 20 rounds of deadly sectarian fighting in recent months.
