إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
An unknown assailant tossed a hand grenade on Sunday night toward an army checkpoint in al-Mitein in Tripoli, hitting the outer wall of the position and causing no injuries, reported the National News Agency.
Afterwards, NNA stated that: “The army closed the roads of al-Rifa, al-Omari and al-Hariri project in Tripoli as a precaution after a hand grenade was thrown at its position in al-Mitein.”
An army position was attacked on Friday in Talaat al-Omari and unknown assailants also tossed two grenades towards Syria Street neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh.
The Friday attacks on the army came less than 24 hours after a soldier was killed and another injured in a drive-by shooting in the northern Akkar district.
Milad Mohammed Issa died and Mohammed Fakhreddine Haidar was severely injured in the motorcycle attack that took place at dawn Thursday in the town of al-Rihaniyeh.
The army has been facing rising assaults following the gunbattles between troops and Sunni jihadists who overran the northeastern border town of Arsal in August.

I don't know about that, maybe in your neck of the woods. Come to think of it that is one of the many sneaky clever things president Bashar Assad
, General Ali Mamluk charged their man Michel Samaha of doing.

It is very customary yes!
كشف ريفي لصحيفة “الجمهورية” انّ “التحقيقات التي أجريت توصّلت الى معرفة مَن ألقى القنابل على مواقع الجيش وحواجزه، وهم لم يكونوا من مناصري المولوي ومنصور، بل من الذين يدورون في فلك “حزب الله” للإيقاع بين الجيش وأبناء المدينة، والذين نجحوا في استغلال الأجواء غير السليمة التي كانت قائمة فيها، وكادوا ان ينجحوا في استدراجها الى حيث لا يريد أحد من أبنائها، وهم يخضعون للملاحقة الى ان يتمّ توقيفهم”.
