Lasa residents reopen Mayrouba-Faraya rd in protest of yesterday's killings

Lasa residents reopened the Mayrouba – Faraya road in both directions on Friday, after blocking it in retaliation to yesterday’s crime where two members from the Saif Eddine family were killed. The protesters said that their movement is a sort of a warning to those harboring the murderer, reiterating their call for his hand over.

Consequently, the LAF deployed heavily in the area to ensure no further escalation of the events.

On the Kafa'at Rd towards Hady Nasrallah Highway, demonstrators also cut-off motorists' route in solidarity with the above mentioned protest, only to later reopen it as well.         

On Thursday, LAF soldier Hadi Seif Eddine and his father Ghassan Seif Eddine who hail from the town of Lasa were killed in a personal dispute in the town of Wata El Joz in Keserwan.           

In the details, a verbal bout erupted between Hadi, his father and a truck driver. The verbal clash quickly evolved to gunfire exchange.            

The two bodies were subsequently transferred to the St. George Hospital in Ajaltoun.               

In this context, the Internal Security Forces (ISF) announced that upon the request of the concerned judicial authorities, they are searching for the suspect.                     

Security forces called on all citizens who have information on the whereabouts of Khalil to call the nearest ISF department or call 112.
