The Army Command announced that while individuals were passing through two vehicles at the army checkpoint in Harabta - Bekaa, they did not comply with the orders of the checkpoint personnel and fired at them. The personnel responded in kind, leading to an exchange of fire and the arrest of several individuals mentioned. Reports indicated that a force from the army had set up a security ambush for a convoy of wanted individuals from the Zaiter family on the outskirts of Harabta, consisting of three SUVs with 13 members. This led to an armed clash between the force and the wanted individuals, resulting in the death of (M.S.) Zaiter and wounding two wanted individuals, namely (M.N.) Zaiter, son of the wanted Noah Zaiter, and (M.A.) Zaiter, as well as the arrest of (M.A.) Zaiter and others.
On another note, the legal representative of the wanted Noah Zaiter denied the rumors circulating about the death of Mahdi Zaiter, Noah Zaiter's son, at the Lebanese army checkpoint in the Harabta valley - northern Bekaa. The legal representative announced the arrest of Mahdi Zaiter along with others who were with him at an army checkpoint, confirming that his father remains at large.
