Several Arrested in Hadath, Haret Hreik over Attacking Troops
Several people were arrested on Saturday in the suburbs of Beirut on charges of opening fire and attacking army troops.
"An army force raided the St. Therese-Hadath region looking for fugitives and managed to arrest Jalal Mohammed Jaafar and Moussa Mohammed Jaafar,” the military institution said in a communique.
The statement clarified that both fugitives are wanted on charges of attacking army troops.
The troops also seized a quantity of hashish, light ammunition, military equipment and a fake identification document during the raid.
And on Friday evening, an army force arrested Sami Ghaleb al-Husseini and Palestinian national Bilal Mohammed al-Saleh in the Haret Hreik area in Beirut's southern suburbs.
They are both wanted on charges of opening fire, the army communique revealed.
The army announced on Thursday the arrest of Mahdi Sobhi Siblani for repeatedly opening fire, and Imad Makkouk for possessing and smuggling illegal substance in Dahieh.
The arrests come as troops are implementing a security plan in the North, the Bekaa and in Beirut, which resulted in the arrest of several dangerous fugitives while other turned themselves in.
