Shots Fired at Cafe Owned by Mustaqbal Supporter in Saadiyat
A cafe owned by a Mustaqbal Movement supported came under gunfire at dawn Tuesday in the coastal area of Saadiyat, 25 kilometers south of Beirut, state-run National News Agency reported.
“Unknown assailants opened fire from a car at a cafe owned by Mohammed al-Asaad, a supporter of al-Mustaqbal Movement, in Saadiyat, causing material damage,” NNA said.
Heavy clashes had erupted in the town in February between the Hizbullah-affiliated Resistance Brigades and members of the al-Asaad family in which machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades were used.
Such incidents have become frequent in recent years in the Saadiyat area.
On January 12, a prayer hall came under gunfire during the presence of a local Hizbullah official in it.
The area had witnessed heavy clashes between supporters of al-Mustaqbal and members of the Resistance Brigades in July 2015 in which scores of people were injured.
