Hand Grenade Near Baalbek MP House Damages Vehicles
Unknown assailants have tossed a hand grenade in the eastern city of Baalbek, meters away from the house of a Hizbullah MP, causing material damage only, the National News Agency reported on Friday.
NNA said the grenade tossed in al-Rifai neighborhood around 3:00 am damaged two vehicles – a Mitsubishi with a Syrian license plate and also a Syrian-plated Hyundai van - parked on the side of the road.
The attack took place only 100 meters away from the residences of lawmaker Kamel al-Rifai and Sheikh Mohammed Ayman al-Rifai.
The MP told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that the attack had no political intentions.
“It was part of the chaos as young people are taking advantage of what's happening in Lebanon to tamper with its security,” he said.
