"Take that, yew varmint!"
"Aaaiiieee! Hey, Rube!"
The gunnies from both sides clashed with handguns and Kalashnikov rifles in Tyre's Jumblat roundabout. The fighting did not cause any casualties, it said.

The residents of Tyre, who were terrorized by the fighting, contacted security forces,
"Operator! Get me the security forces!"
which along with an army patrol arrived swiftly to the area.
