Late on April 2, unknown assailants opened fire at an Armenian club in Beirut’s Khalil Badawi neighborhood, home to the Social Democrat Hunchakian Party’s local chapter.

According to Arevelk, video footage shows the gunmen shooting toward the club before fleeing the scene.

Fortunately, there were no casualties or injuries, despite the club being located in a densely populated area.

Lebanese law enforcement has launched an investigation to clarify the circumstances and identify those responsible.

Such attacks on Armenian community centers in Lebanon have not occurred for a long time. The incident has raised alarm and prompted a strong response from the local Armenian community.
