After learning the consequences, Mikati emphasized on the need to detect the reasons for such fires and prevent them.

Specialists suspect that there is intentionality in the incidents due to the places and simultaneity with which the fires occurred.

For that reason, the head of the Lebanese Government asked Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi to take immediate measures to prevent that such phenomena are repeated.

Earlier, Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri expressed his suspicions of intentionality, after noting that the timing and location raise a number of questions for the judicial and security authorities.
