Muqdad Clan Members Block Dahiyeh Roads over Lassa Building Violation
Members of the al-Muqdad family on Sunday blocked with burning tires several key roads in Beirut’s southern suburbs, “after the Internal Security Forces suppressed a construction violation in the town of Lassa in the barren mountains of Jbeil and arrested a member of the family,” state-run National News Agency reported.
A few hours later, “a joint army-ISF unit managed to reopen roads in al-Msharrafiyeh, Ghobeiri and Mar Mkhayel and the Hadi Nasrallah Highway, as civil defense crews doused the burning tires and removed them from the streets,” NNA said.
“Security forces are pursuing the individuals responsible for the blocking of roads” in order to refer them to the relevant judicial authorities, the agency added.
