إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
A Lebanese man was killed when two families armed with sticks and machetes engaged in a fight in a town in the northern district of Akkar, the state-run National News Agency reported on Sunday.
NNA said that Khairallah al-Sheikh died when he was hit on his head with a stick.
Several other people were injured in the fighting that pitted al-Sheikh family members against the Waked clan in the town of Ballanat al-Haisa.
The bickering parties burned several houses in the town, NNA said.
The army intervened to calm the situation and restore order, the agency added.

Seriously, do we not deserve to be burned to the ground by Syrians and Israelis?

It doesn't look HA style. The irony is the stick was more powerful than the machete.

This has nothing to do with HA. I understand why some folks want partition. This stuff does not happen as much in predominantly Christian areas. Focus on "as much". Also, although this did not have anything to do with HA; I understand why many folks on here would be suspicious, because they have been involved in many murders/assassinations of anti-Assad regime folk. We can't blame Israel for all of those things, maybe just a few. HA may be not as ruthless for a middle eastern militia in the Levant would typically be given the military strength and political clout they have. But, they have taken out enough anti-HA figures in Lebanon by the sword contrary to their establish mission and vision. The above article is not HA dirt.

I hate the useless arab leauge but this has nothing to do with that leauge. These families would be fighting regardless if lebanon was in the arab leauge or even in the european union lol.

How did the arab league do that exactly kanaan? That mentality existed before lebanon joined the arab league.

if HA wasnt armed, the sunnis in akkar wouldnt have felt the need to arm themselves with sticks and machetes. also, the latest reports from geha's crystal ball say that an HA voodoo ritual took possession of one of the families mind and made it engage in the fight.
