The head of the health department in the Nabatieh governorate, Ali Ajram, along with court physician Dr. Bashar Shmeisani and a team of health inspectors from Nabatieh, supported by a patrol from the State Security office in Nabatieh, closed down 3 butcher shops in the town of Ansar and sealed them with red wax. This action was taken upon the direction of the public prosecutor in Nabatieh, Judge Ramzi Farhat, due to non-compliance with health regulations and the presence of spoiled meat in their refrigerators. Records of violations were also prepared against their owners.
