Lebanese army arrests suspect after gunfire at funeral in Beirut suburbs

The Lebanese army said it carried out a series of security operations in Beirut’s southern suburbs following gunfire during a funeral procession.

In a statement, the army said it implemented immediate measures in the Kafaat area, including raids, patrols with armored vehicles, and the establishment of temporary checkpoints.

Army units raided the homes of those involved, arresting one suspected shooter and seizing a quantity of weapons and ammunition.

The confiscated items were handed over to the relevant authorities, and an investigation has been launched under judicial supervision. Efforts are ongoing to apprehend the remaining suspects.
