Abdul Latif Saleh, front man for the Arab Democratic Party -- the main political and armed force in Jabal Mohsen -- confirmed the attack in remarks to al-Jadeed TV.
More than 20 attacks have targeted Jabal Mohsen residents in several areas of Tripoli in recent months.
The most recent incident took place on January 6, when unknown attackers beat up a Jabal Mohsen resident in the neighboring al-Baqqar district.
Tensions between Jabal Mohsen and the rival district of Bab al-Tabbaneh date back to Leb's 1975-1990 civil war but have been exacerbated by the conflict across the border in Syria, where Alawite
