    A Clash Broke Out Between Tayyar & Lebanese Forces Party Members In Beirut

    Shots were fired Monday evening in a clash between members of Samir Geagea’s Lebanese Forces (LF) and Michel Aoun’s Free Patriotic Movement (Tayyar).

    The clash erupted outside of the Tayyar’s headquarters in the Mirna Chalouhi area of Sin El-Fil as an LF convoy passed by commemorating the assassination of former Lebanese president-elect Bachir Gemayel.

    Free Patriotic Movement (FMP) followers fired shots at a Lebanese Force’s (LF) convoy on the eastern outskirts of Beirut. FMP, allied with Hezbollah, is the Christian party of Lebanese President Aoun. LF is another Christian political party that strongly opposes Hezbollah. https://t.co/BSJzXVcLy8

    It is unclear exactly how the clash began, but local media report that both parties threw sticks and stones at each other. The LF members were reportedly shouting slogans and chants, which provoked the Tayyar’s security guards.

    Videos showed the guards shooting fires in the air. Some reported that fires were shot towards the LF convoy yet that remains unconfirmed.

    The Lebanese army announced that it intervened quickly to restore calm and peace in the region. The Army Command also stressed the importance of expressing opinions in a peaceful manner to maintain stability and security.

    As if Lebanon needed more PTSD, the clash was reminiscent of scenes of the civil war, a time decades ago when militias mercilessly fought one another.

    What’s worse is that barely 40 days have passed since the tragedy of the Beirut Port and they find a way to bring back images of more destruction to mind (their civil war between 88-90 and their ongoing feuds since). Tfeh. #Lebanon #كلن_يعني_كلن
