The Egyptian Embassy in Beirut, through its press office, issued a statement on Friday refuting the accusation by Secretary General of the Democratic Arab Party Rifaat Ali Eid on Thursday to LBC.
The press office repudiated the accusation labeling it as "unfounded." "This incident will not waver the reputable historical relations between Egypt and Lebanon and the brotherly ties between the two countries", elaborated the statement.
Rifaat Ali Eid on Thursday held Egypt responsible for the incidents that took place in Bab al-Tebanneh and Jabal Mohsen neighborhoods in Tripoli. The recent developments left 8 injured after a clash using several Inerga-type rocket-propelled grenades which hit residential areas and a football field during the past two days.
