Hezbollah denounced on Sunday the attack on a bus in Tripoli’s neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh, in which nine laborers were wounded.
“The crime committed by a spiteful group in Tripoli against peace
ful workers is a murder that should be denounced by all (parties and sides). It is a serious message for all of the Lebanese,” Hezbollah Media Relations said in a statement.
The party said that such incident is considered as the outcome of the sectarian incitement carried out by some parties in Lebanon.
“As Hezbollah condemns the crime, it calls on security and judicial authorities to adopt the necessary measures and punish the perpetrators in order to prevent the reoccurrence of such crimes.”
The statement also stressed that the sectarian incitement should be stopped, as it urged rational figures in Lebanon in general and in Tripoli in particular to exert efforts in order to avoid the reoccurrence of such attacks.
Earlier on Saturday, gunmen stopped a bus in Bab al-Tabbaneh and opened fire on it, injuring nine workers.
All nine workers had either gunshot or beating wounds and were taken to hospital for treatment.
