In Saida city, supporters of Sheikh Ahmad Assir as well as a group of Salafists opposed the funeral today of one of Hezbollah fighters, the Sunni Saleh Ahmad Sabbagh, born in 1995 and killed in the battles for the Syrian Qussayr before yesterday.
Rumors said first that Sabbagh died in “training exercises” however “the Islamic resistance” confirmed his death in Qussayr battles.
Supporters of Assir as well as a group of Salafists arrived little before the funeral decided before noon prayer and blocked the Sunni cemetery’s entrance with sandbags and burning tires. Fears spread when rumors noted that Hezbollah and Assir fighters crowded heavily fully armed. Directly, Lebanese soldiers in armored personnel carriers arrived and conducted patrols on the city entrances, Sahat Annejmeh, Taamir, Faylat, Sirob and Bilal Bin Rabah mosque surroundings.
While Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir was warning from what he called Iran’s party to move the fight into Saida, Assabagh was buried in the presence of Hezbollah Official in Saida Sheikh Zeyd Daher in Hussayniyet Saida.
Heavy shotguns were used by the Army soldiers in the city to spread the clashes between the Islamic group returning from Saida’s cemetery and Oussama Saad linked men.
