A number of masked gunmen on motorcycles opened fire on Lebanese army posts in the northern city of Tripoli overnight Friday.
Security sources told The Daily Star that gunmen with machine guns rushed into three army posts in the Tripoli neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh around midnight, prompting soldiers to return fire.
They reported no casualties in the attacks.
The Army spread out across the area and began patrolling the streets, the sources added.
An unknown assailant also tossed a hand grenade into the Abu Ali River in Tripoli overnight, the sources added.
