The Lebanese Kataeb Party disclosed, in an issued statement on Sunday, that unknown gunmen opened fire at dawn today at the Central Kataeb House in Saifi, hitting its eastern façade with six bullets.

The Party placed this assault in the custody of the state and its security services, to track down and reveal the identity of the perpetrators. 

"The Kataeb Central House that has embodied independence and freedom, which was labeled by the October 17 Revolution as the House of the People, and which became the meeting place for revolutionaries and free men of various sects, affiliations and orientations, will remain open to all Lebanese and the spearhead in the battle towards sovereignty, liberty and a decent life," the Party pledged in its statement.

It concluded by asserting that the Kataeb will never be undermined or intimidated by such "cheap and trivial political messages."
