THREAD: Details about @MariamSeif 's case - a bunch of Hezbollah/Amal supporters and some Al-Akhbar Journos are trying to portray this attack as an "old family misunderstanding". Mariam has been subjected to threats due to her journalistic work for months as she lives in Dahiye.
Mariam's work has been subjected to local verbal criticism that proved to be unfriendly a number of times in her neighborhood. Mariam's extended family too (her uncle from her mother's side) who has connections inside Hezbollah has been one of the people triggering this tension.
Video from security cameras that Mariam had to put up due to the constant harassment they endured. What started as a family dispute, turned to threats where her extended family used their Hezbollah connections to intimidate them more knowing Mariam's opposing politics.
We all know that what @MariamSeif 's family is going through started as a family dispute years ago (her sister's story
), however what is unacceptable is how her extended family is using thugs covered by Hezbollah to intimidate them, now because of Mariam's work as a journalist.

What @MariamSeif 's sister is saying is that they have been attacked years ago, even shot at, by the same family member and some thugs he used. Now, he is using his Hezbollah connections to get what he wants, the Seif family out. So if anyone dragged Hezbollah into this its him.
