In a blatant violation of state sovereignty and its institutions, members of the military branch of Jamaa Islamiya, a Lebanese Islamist group with close ties to Hamas, conducted a military parade in Akkar on Sunday.
The parade was part of the funeral procession of two members of the Islamic group who were killed in an Israeli air raid in West Bekaa on Friday.
Participants fired shots in the air and even launched an RPG rocket in Al-Abdeh square, Akkar, amidst a large crowd gathered for the occasion.
A child was injured by a stray bullet and a resident of Bebnine was also wounded.
The areas of Minieh, Halba, and Bebnine witnessed intense gunfire from medium and heavy caliber weapons during the funeral procession.
