Title: Army Helicopters Monitor Qornet El Sawda

Lebanese army helicopters continued aerial patrols and surveillance of the Qornet El Sawda area and the adjacent Jroud Makmel region this morning, Friday, amid strict measures implemented by the army that prevent access to certain areas as a precaution following the recent incident. New blood samples and some bullet casings found around the site of the incident were collected, and seven stone barricades in the vicinity of the location were inspected. The coming hours will be crucial for unraveling the reasons behind the incident and how it occurred, following the linking of investigation threads and statements from those detained. The residents of Bsharri have called for participation in a prayer for the souls of the two victims, Haitham and Malik Touk, by attending a mass at the Deimaan church next Sunday, which will be presided over by Maronite Patriarch Beshara Al-Rahi at 10 AM at the summer patriarchal headquarters.
