ISF Dismisses Reported Gang-Rape of Woman as 'False Rumor'
The Internal Security Forces on Tuesday described a media report claiming that a woman was gang-raped in Akkar as a “false rumor.”
“A rumor has been circulated about a gang-rape of a woman in the Bekaa. After a forensic doctor examined her, it turned out that it was just a false rumor,” the ISF announced on its Twitter page.
Earlier, media reports said a 33-year-old woman identified as H. A. was allegedly raped by a group of Syrian nationals and left on the side of the road in north Bekaa.
Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) said the woman who hails from the village of Sheikh Taba in Akkar was found on the side of the road bleeding.
She was rushed to al-Assi Hospital in Hermel and an investigation was launched into the incident, the radio station added.
