Two Families Clash in Beirut’s Southern Suburbs
A dispute between al-Ghossein and al-Karaki families erupted in al-Musharrafieh area in Beirut’s southern suburb on Thursday.
A source from al-Moqdad family told Naharnet that the dispute included two people from al-Karaki family and two others from al-Ghossein family.
The dispute took place in al-Moqdad Street over an old quarrel between the two families, the source said.
It added that the army intervened to contain the situation, kicking out al-Karaki members from the area.
The National News Agency had reported earlier that four people were wounded in a personal dispute that erupted between the Moqdad family and al-Karaki in al-Musharrafieh area.
According to the news agency, the dispute erupted between Najib Karaki and an unidentified member of the Moqdad family which widened into clashes between the two families.
The NNA said that Najib was slightly wounded while his brother Issa Karaki was seriously injured in the head and they were both transferred to al-Sahel hospital.
It added that a woman that was on the balcony of her house was wounded in addition to a child that was on the street.
The army swiftly intervened to control the incident.
Last week, clashes with machineguns erupted in the Beirut southern suburb of al-Kafaat between members of the al-Moqdad family and “others from Hizbullah,” news reports said.
