(BEIRUT, LEBANON) — The March 14 coalition general secretariat said one of its members, Nawfal Daou, escaped an ambush in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley town of Taybeh on Saturday.
“Nawfal Daou escaped from an armed ambush that was set up for him at 11am in Taybeh,” the group said in a statement released to Lebanese media.
The group says the gunmen fired several bullets onto his vehicle, damaging tires and forcing him out of his car.
“(Daou) was able to flee and reached a nearby house where he contacted Internal Security Forces Information Branch, as well as the Army intelligence directorate in the Bekaa,” they said.
Security forces arrived to the scene of the incident and launched an investigation.
