Fire Erupts at Gas Station in al-Laylaki in Renewed Clashes between Zoaiter, Hjoula Families
A fire broke out on Wednesday at a gas station in al-Laylaki area in Beirut's southern suburbs as a result of armed clashes between two rival families, reported the National News Agency.
It said that Mehdi Nassif and Firas Zoaiter were wounded in the renewal of clashes between the Zoaiter and Hjoula families.
The army has since intervened to contain the situation.
Wednesday's clashes broke out after the death of Mehdi Zoaiter from injuries he sustained from previous rounds of unrest with the Hjoula family.
OTV later reported that 200 armed Zoaiter family members assaulted workers at the emergency room at Sainte Therese Hospital in al-Hadath.
During a previous round of clashes in June, the army explained that the unrest broke over living issues, not political reasons.

As long as there are weapons outside the legal armed forces, this sort f things is bound to happen anytime.

when salafis/takfiris create chaos in tripoli, akkar, saida, arsalll etc you say it has nothing to do with M14/mustaqbal. why then are you so hasty to say these gangsters are the resistance's people?
i support the resistance but definitely not those thugs, i say let the army bash them hard, just like they did with the scumbag assir

Good post here, still HA should not be armed (neither should any other party or group- especially non-Lebanese groups such as Palestinians).

when the government will have a clear solid defense strategy, and the army will become strong enough to provide deterrence against israeli aggressions, i will be in favor of disarming of HA.
until then, HA is the only thing that can protect us against israel and is therefore required in the higher interest of the nation.

The zeaiters are liberating Jerusalem from Ste Therese hospital?
3ayb. The hospital staff is devoting his working life to take care of patients while those unemployed parasites come terrorise them? These 200 parasites should be put in a room and shot.

Explain to me how is the right hand that armed both families is claiming to be a party of god? so this party of god will interfere to save Syrian lives but not pure tribes shiite families in the Dahieh security square so that the wealth of tribes expands to Hadath?
We cannot agree more. That is why all arms should be removed besides the legal ones.
