Sedition threatens Khaldeh and a message from gunmen… Is tension coming?

From one moment to another on the night of Wednesday-Thursday, the Khaldeh area almost witnessed a new armed battle following a security incident that shook its parts, without knowing the parties behind it.

Without any warning, during the evening hours, a car carrying gunmen came towards one of the neighborhoods inhabited by the sons of Arab Khaldeh, to fire randomly towards a building there, according to what military sources told“Lebanon 24”.

This incident was an unexpected surprise from any party in the region, but the thing that caused greater confusion was the entry of another gunman on the line, as the latter suddenly appeared in the middle of the road in the area where the first incident occurred. In those moments, this gunman opened fire in the air without knowing the reasons, and then withdrew to an unknown destination.

According to military sources, the two incidents that occurred at night did not call for any response from the sons of Arab Khaldeh, which confirms that what was initially said regarding clashes in the area is untrue. Here, the sources point out that what happened necessitated immediate contacts by clan elders in the army, asking it to come immediately and spread its spread in the area to prevent any friction in the street.

During the hours of turmoil, the people of the area began circulating news that the gunmen who fired the shots belonged to “Hezbollah”, at a time when the security sources spoke of the lack of any knowledge so far of the identity, directions or affiliations of the shooters. However, the only constant so far “on the ground” is the commitment of the sons of Arab Khaldeh to calm, and their circles say that being drawn into any strife will not occur regardless of the side that targeted and fired.

According to those circles, the problems that were taking place between youths affiliated with the party and others from the clans, may be a reason for any subsequent security incident, especially following the clashes that took place last year. On the other hand, however, the circles do not deny the possibility of a fifth column entering the line in order to “fuel up the conflict” and cause strife in the region, which its people agreed on the necessity of immunizing it from any incident that might draw it into a battle.
The accompanying sources expected that these incidents will recur later, but the basis is the commitment of the people of the region from all sides to calm down and cut off the road to any security event that disturbs the atmosphere.

In this context, it has been learned “Lebanon 24” At the time when the incident took place, contacts were active on more than one level between party officials in the region, and the sources pointed out that there was a consensus from various parties on the need to prevent any problems, and there was confirmation during those contacts that the army should be given cover. complete action and deter security breaches.
