Supporters of Amal and Hizbullah assaulted Sunday the Shiite candidate Wassef al-Harakeh at a polling station in Bourj al-Barajneh while calling him "Zionist".
"How are you gonna represent a district where your are rejected," a man was heard saying in a video, addressing al Harakeh.
The Army intervened to stop the attackers, while the Lebanese Association for Democratic Elections (LADE) condemned the assault.
