Lebanon: Security officer killed in clash with armed suspects in Tripoli
Shafaq News – Tripoli A Lebanese security officer was killed and two others injured during a raid on armed suspects in northern Lebanon, local media reported on Saturday. The confrontation reportedly broke out on Al-Miatein Street in Tripoli as Internal Security Forces from the Information Branch stormed an apartment to apprehend wanted men. Several suspects were detained during the operation. A security source quoted by Al-Joumhouria newspaper described the detainees as militants plotting a large-scale attack, tying their plans to the recent Mar Elias Church bombing in Damascus and wider regional tensions involving Israel. On June 22, a suicide bombing at Mar Elias Church killed 25 people and wounded dozens, with the jihadist group Saraya Ansar al-Sunna later claiming responsibility.
