A man was hospitalized with 12 stab wounds after being attacked by a group of four people in the Akkar town of Birqayel, local media reported Saturday.

The man was transported to al-Yousif Hospital and was in critical condition.

According to local media, the main suspect, identified as Aa.Aa., was arrested. He was reportedly waging a vendetta dating back 30 years.

Vengeful assaults and killings are commonly reported in Lebanon, as feuds between families still stand in some villages, following a 15-year Civil War that ended in 1990 with a reconciliation established by the Taif Accord.
