مسا الخير. قتلت السيدة نجاح عبيد على يد زوجها ب ١٥ رصاصة، لأنها وزعت على الجيران بعض من الإعاشة التي حصلت عليها. قتلها عادي، بكرا بينحبس ٣ سنين بيطلع بحسن سلوك.

The incident happened in Borj El Brajneh camp. The father is believed to have committed the murder in front of his two 7 and 4 year old daughters.
Social media users have denounced the murder of the husband as some revealed a new crime added to Lebanon's domestic violence. While others tweeted: "He will be Jailed for a couple of years and then gets out for his good behavior in jail."
Researches find that domestic violence have risen by about 50% in Lebanon following the current economic crisis and the novel coronavirus.
