If you want to ping all lebanese you know. It is a blast in a warehouse containing oxygen bottles in the industrial zone of zouk mosbeh, next to Yasouh al Malek.
No casualties. great damages.

I am not sure if this is the same story or not:

2 bombs explode in North Lebanon University

Two explosive devices detonated Thursday at the Notre Dame University in northern Lebanon.

Several people were injured in the explosion. (AFP)

No, no bombs exploded at North NDU. It was a silly behavior from students who threw 2 powerful firecrackers in the WC’s. You know when the situation is so tense...........
A similar hoax happened at Saint Joseph High School in Antoura, Kesrwan where students planted a UPS battery (heavy so people think it is a bomb) connected by a few wires to a digital watch, you can imagine the panic.
