A person of Palestinian nationality, who was accompanying a relative patient, threatened Dr. Haifa Dubuq with a military handgun in her clinic in the Al-Bass area of Tyre, after she had conducted the necessary tests for the patient. Her husband, Dr. Jaafar Abbas, intervened since his clinic is next to his wife's. After a struggle, the assailant and the patient fled. Security forces arrived and began an investigation into the incident, while the two doctors, Abbas and Dubuq, filed a lawsuit against the assailant.
