The LF-backed list is running in the Baalbek-Hermel district, where Amal and Hezbollah, mainly the latter, have a huge presence.

The Lebanese Forces party chairman, Samir Geagea, appealed to Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi for the delegates to return and "those responsible for the attack arrested," he said.
