On 21 April 2020 in Baakline, Chouf District, Mount Lebanon Governorate, Lebanon, nine people were killed. Mazen Harfoush is the suspect. His wife is one of those killed.[1][2][3]
The killing spree began at 3:30 p.m., when a knife was used to kill Harfoush's wife; then eight other people were shot dead. They include Harfoush's brother, Fawzi Harfoush, who was previously suspected of being an accomplice.[1] Six of the victims were Syrian and the other three Lebanese.[2] Military and local municipal police personnel worked together in the search, setting up a 20-kilometre perimeter around Baakline village.[3] Harfoush was arrested in the evening.[1] The attack is suspected to be an honour killing.[1]
