A prayer hall came under gunfire Tuesday in the coastal Saadiyat area south of Beirut during the presence of a local Hizbullah official in it, state-run National News Agency reported.

“Unknown gunmen opened fire from a car at a prayer hall in the Saadiyat area as the region's Hizbullah official was praying inside,” NNA said.

“An army force immediately deployed in the region and launched a crackdown,” the agency added.

Meanwhile, MTV quoted “the town's imam” as saying that the shots were not fire at the prayer hall.

“What happened was firing in the air at the hands of unknown gunmen from a car that passed in the area,” the imam said.

The area had witnessed heavy clashes between supporters of al-Mustaqbal movement and members of the Hizbullah-affiliated Resistance Brigades in July 2015 in which scores of people were injured.

Can't be mustahbalis, because as every brainwashed saudi knows, they have no weapons.

Despite your sectarian fantasies, "The area had witnessed heavy clashes between supporters of al-Mustaqbal movement and members of the Hizbullah-affiliated Resistance Brigades in July 2015 in which scores of people were injured."
