Wissam El Hassan’s funeral started at the ISF headquarter in Achrafieh at around 2PM today and unfortunately ended violently as the protesters in downtown attempted to storm the Grand Serail to demand the resignation of PM Najib Mikati.
Below are some photos and a video from the funeral and the clash between the protesters and the policemen. (I found photo #9 quite funny by the way!)
Here’s a raw footage from OTV showing how the second explosion happened yesterday in Achrafieh following the first big one that killed Wissam Al-Hassan. I don’t it’s due to another bomb but rather to some kind car gas tank maybe…
Thank god the people who show in the video were not much closer to the fire.
Remember the latest ad I posted for Almaza? Many people accused that ad of being inspired by Lebanese Brew’s campaign “Try something brave” which is actually true since the two look pretty similar. And so, Lebanese Brew came up with this epic reply to Almaza!

I just found L’Orient-Le Jour is making a video series around Lebanon to introduce people to the Lebanese specialties from Sfiha Baalbakiyyeh, to Kibbe Nayyeh, Moujaddara and much more.
The last video was published yesterday about Halewet El-Jeben, a specialty from Tripoli, and featuring Abdel Rahman Hallab’s grandson, Zaher Hallab.
You can check the other specialties on L’Orient-Le Jour’s YouTube Channel. They’re all in french of course…
A friend of mine sent me the below video today showing how the army officer, Rayan Zayan Al Jourdi, was shot during BLOM Bank robbery a few days ago in Elissar.
Update:
I was asked to remove the video by the Captain’s immediate family. I apologize for any offence I have caused.
I can’t believe this song and music video were produced in 2012! Even 3antar sounds awesome now…
