[An Nahar] Unrest erupted in the northern city of Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
on Monday evening as grenades went kaboom! in several neighborhoods and liquor stores were torched in the el-Mina area.

"Two people were maimed as gunshots fired from al-Qobbeh targeted Jabal Mohsen," OTV said.

Quoting the Arab Democratic Party, the main political and armed force in Jabal Mohsen, LBCI television said the civilian Jamil Jammas and army Lieutenant Ali al-Osta were maimed when gunfire targeted the al-Amerkan area.

In a separate incident, a clash erupted on Minot Street in Tripoli's el-Mina after two liquor stores were stormed and vandalized, according to al-Jadeed television.

Three liquor stores were later torched in the area, al-Jadeed said.

The TV network also reported that the sounds of kabooms were heard in Tripoli's al-Mitain Street, el-Mina, Bab al-Tabbaneh and Syria Street.

State-run National News Agency said unknown individuals tossed a stun grenade on Syria Street near the Starco area. The grenade did not cause any casualties or damage and army troops scrambled to the scene, NNA added.
