Celebratory Gunfire over Dahieh Blast Sparks Deadly Clash in Tripoli
[An Nahar] An exchange of gunfire erupted on Thursday between the rival Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, in the wake of a deadly blast that rocked the Beirut southern suburb of Haret Hreik.

Heavy celebratory gunfire had erupted in Bab al-Tabbaneh as news broke that a bombing occurred in Hizbullah's stronghold in Dahieh, the thing that led to tensions in the two Tripoli districts.

The clash ended as army units responded to the sources of gunfire in both areas.

One person was killed and at least five others were maimed in the unrest.

"Mirna Jamal al-Dablana and her mother were maimed in Bab al-Tabbaneh while Ali and Suleiman Badr Hasan were maimed as two grenades went kaboom! in Jabal Mohsen's al-Sheikh Omran area," LBCI television reported.

It later said that Jabal Mohsen resident Fatima Mohammed Bartal died of her wounds after she was hit by sniper fire from Bab al-Tabbaneh.

Another Jabal Mohsen resident identified as Ali Hasan was also maimed after a hand grenade was hurled at him in Bab al-Tabbaneh. He was transferred to the al-Saydeh Hospital in Zgharta for treatment.

At least four people were killed and around 77 others maimed as a boom-mobileing targeted Haret Hreik. Tripoli itself was rocked by deadly bombings that hit two mosques in August.
