In a presser held on Sunday, Makdissi said the army forces did not use any heavy weapons upon entering the village in response to the resident's pleads, adding that damage due to the clash was caused to only five buildings in which the bully boyz were positioned along with their weapons.

regarding the events in al-Treimseh, which Makdissi described as "hasty to the furthest extent" and not based on the reality of what happened in the village.
