๐ฏ Uninvited Party-Crasher: A Chaos-Inducing Scene at a Lebanese Mosque ๐ฅ
TL:DR; In a turn of events that caused hearts to skip beats across Lebanon, an armed assailant staged an attack on a mosque during prayer time, leaving one person dead and others wounded. With the motive still unknown, a teacher lost his life and several others bore the brunt of the attack. ๐๐ฒ
You know that feeling when you’re peacefully enjoying your meal and a fly buzzes around your ear, absolutely ruining your Zen? ๐ Now, imagine that annoying fly as a dangerous armed man, and your peaceful meal as a sacred time of prayer. The tranquil atmosphere at a mosque in eastern Lebanon was shattered on a Friday when a gunman decided to go on a rampage, killing one and wounding several others. ๐โโ๏ธ๐ฅ
It was a scene straight out of an action flick, albeit a terrifying one, with the perpetrator firing at the group as they were exiting the mosque after prayer. The disrupter of peace was a one-man show until the Lebanese army stepped in. ๐ฎโโ๏ธ
This man had clearly skipped the memo on respect for religious places. ๐ As the forces tried to apprehend him, he thought it a good idea to shoot at them too. Well, let’s just say his actions got him a one-way ticket to a hospital bed. ๐๐
The name of the person killed in this horrific incident? Ali Shibli, a school teacher. The other wounded? Also Lebanese citizens. ๐ฅ๐
So, you’re probably asking, “Why did this happen?” Good question! ๐ค No one knows why exactly. In the immediate aftermath of the attack, reports suggested the victims were Syrians. But wait, didn’t we just say they were Lebanese citizens? Yep, exactly! And it’s this kind of misinformation that fuels unrest.
Lebanon is currently home to over 1 million Syrian refugees, and anti-Syrian sentiments have been escalating since the country’s economic downturn, which started back in October 2019. ๐ฅ๐ Not a fan of blaming refugees for homegrown problems, are you? We feel you!
So, what happens next? Investigations? Trials? Anti-refugee propaganda? The future is as unpredictable as a roulette wheel. ๐ฒ๐
And now, the million-dollar question: Is the rising anti-Syrian sentiment a byproduct of the economic crisis, or is it fueling it further? ๐ง
