REPORT: Bus transporting army forces targeted by gunfire in Tripoli, 7 injured
Gunfire targeted on Tuesday morning a bus transporting army forces in the regions of al-Mallouleh and Abou Ali in the northern city of Tripoli, injuring 7 members.

On another note, an 8-year-old girl died of wounds she sustained in the region of Bab al-Tebbaneh, after she was hit by a gunshot in the head.

During the night, sources told LBCI that a bomb was tossed at a Lebanese army tank in al-Mallouleh, leaving material damages.


Sources reported that the army responded to the sources of fire targeting its units near the vegetables market.

This comes as the roads in Bab al-Tebbaneh remained blocked, mainly the highway linking Tripoli to Akkar at Abou Ali roundabout. 

Clashes had erupted overnight between the Lebanese Armed Forces units deployed at the entrances of the region of Bab al-Tebbaneh in Tripoli, and groups of masked gunmen, once news of the injury of a member of the Muslim Scholars delegation in Arsal spread out.  

The clashes in Tripoli came as fighting continued for the fourth day the northeastern border town between the Lebanese army and armed groups, after security forces arrested a Syrian Islamist rebel commander, Imad Jomaa, on Saturday.
