Kataeb Reacts to Shooting at Their Headquarters in Saifi
Kataeb party Secretary General, Serge Dagher, said Monday that "the message has been received" in reaction to the shooting incident at the party's Central House in Saifi.

In his comments to al-Jaddeed TV about yesterday's incident, Dagher added, "The Kataeb Central House has always defended Lebanon and still does, and nothing more will happen than what has already occurred."

The Vice President of the Kataeb Party, Professor Bernard Gerbaka, commented on the shooting, saying, "Violence and threats do not yield results; do not silence the free voice and sovereign efforts."

He added, "We insist on diplomatic efforts and understanding to elect a president through constitutional means because the vacancy in constitutional institutions causes legal problems within the country."


Renewal Bloc MP Adeeb Abdel Massih wrote on the X platform, "We do not take pleasure in the fate of any soul, regardless of their status, including the Iranian president and his companions. However, we will not accept that night bats use this incident to shoot at the Kataeb Central House and disturb civil peace."

The Media Commission of the Progressive Socialist Party also condemned the shooting and called on the security agencies for a full investigation.

Unknown assailants fired shots from an SUV at the Kataeb Central House in Saifi on Sunday night and fled to an unknown destination. Party leader Sami Gemayel confirmed that shots were fired outside the central house from a car that then sped away.

Gemayel reassured Kataeb supporters in a voice recording that there were no injuries and that the vehicle's license plate number had been recorded. Security agencies are following up on the incident.
