Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... renewed on Wednesday between the rival neighborhoods of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen. Voice of Leb radio (93.3) reported that festivities erupted at Syria Street during the funeral of Omar al-Ahmed, who died of wounds he sustained during the latest round of fighting in the city.
