Shooting in Baabda
The Internal Security Forces has arrested three suspects over a shooting that targeted a local humanitarian organization in Baabda, according to an ISF statement released Friday.
The statement said the incident began when a man in a private vehicle engaged in a “traffic dispute” with a driver of an Islamic Health Committee ambulance in the Baabda area on Nov. 12.
About half an hour later, gunshots were fired from a car at the IHC’s building in Baabda’s Tahwitat al-Ghadir, and the car fled shortly thereafter. No one was hurt in the incident.
The ISF said it identified the perpetrators of the shooting and arrested them in the Beirut southern suburb of Hay al-Sellom. They were identified as Lebanese national H.H., born in 1984; Lebanese national Aa.Aa. born in 1992; and Syrian national H.J., born in 1998. A Kalashnikov assault rifle was seized during their arrest, as well as a quantity of cannabis, according to the statement.
The ISF said the suspects are being investigated, while work is underway to arrest another person suspected of taking part in the shooting.
