Mustakbal snipers in Ras el-Nabeh injured seven civilian passersby, some seriously. Lebanese army soldiers traced Lebanese Forces snipers and launched a pursuit after the fleeing gunmen. The Lebanese army also evacuated Mustakbal militiamen from two offices in Beirut after opposition fighters managed to silence their guns.
