Getting arrested sounds fun now
For the first time in its history, 610 young girls made their way into the Internal Security Forces after announcing its will to recruit female volunteers earlier.
The video below shows the result of a 2 months training that 200 girls have received, and as you can see many of them are quite good looking! Getting arrested now seems like a pretty cool idea eh?!
On a serious note, I totally respect these women and believe that they’re much needed in our country.

Bakers still threatening strike unless prices cut

And last but not least, the mother of all protests in Tripoli that has been turning the city into a mess since Saturday.

The solution to traffic jam in Lebanon
These people found the ultimate solution to traffic jam in Lebanon, set up an Arguileh and share it with people around while stuck on the highway. Better yet, want to avoid fights during the wait? Add some Bekaai made “tobacco” to it!
Thank you @krikOrianm

This is just sad
I just watched the most aweful thing about the clashes taking place in Tripoli right now, child fighters. The below video from LBC shows a 12 years old kid holding an AK-47 and admitting he’s participating in the fights to “protect” his neighborhood. Disguting!
One of the kids told LBCI that he is fighting to defend his region, adding that he knows how to use a weapon and shoot. The kid said that he will not go to school tomorrow unless things get back to normal in Tripoli.

The collapse of Safra building caught on video
The below video from LBCI shows part of the carpet factory in Safra collapsing because of the huge fire it caught today morning.
Luckily no one was hurt as all employees were able to escape from the building shortly after the fire erupted. You may also check here for photos taken by Joe of the factory while the fire was raging in it.
