NNA - A Lebanese man was sexually assaulted by a number of Syrians in Timneen in Bekaa Saturday night leading to extreme outrage by villagers who cut off the road leading to their town and pressured Syrian refugees to remove their tents and leave the area.


Over fifty tents, inhabited by some three hundred Syrian refugees, were dismantled Sunday after Timneen villagers threatened to burn them on the backdrop of the sexual assault.
