Families Use RPGs, Machineguns in Baalbek Armed Clash
A dispute between two families escalated into an armed clash involving the use of shoulder-fired rockets and machineguns in a Baalbek neighborhood on Friday, state-run National News Agency reported.
The dispute started between young men from the Jaafar and Shuqeir families before members of the Wehbe family intervened in favor of the Shuqeir family, NNA said.
The fighting damaged two houses and several cars and the army has since contained the incident, the agency added.
“The clash erupted after a young man from the Jaafar family crashed his speeding car into a car belonging to H. Shuqeir,” NNA said.
