It seems that Lebanese channel Al Jadeed just cannot catch a break after allegedly having been attacked for the fourth time in 6 months. A van belonging to the privately owned broadcaster was set on fire in the early hours of Thursday morning, according to reports in local media. The station has accused the Amal movement political party, whose leader is parliament speaker Nabih Berri, of being behind the attacks. While the Daily Star reports that security forces are still attempting to discover what started the fire, Al Jadeed has released CCTV footage apparently showing the perpetrators.  Karma Khayat, an Al Jadeed journalist, reportedly claimed that “members affiliated to Berri attacked the channel. “Even if they want to assault or attack us, we have a message and we will deliver it,” Khayat added. In February, angry demonstrators, some of whom were waving Amal flags, attacked the Al-Jadeed headquarters after the channel broadcast a sketch allegedly mocking the missing cleric Musa al-Sadr. However, Amal leader Berri’s press office have denied the allegations, saying that "Khayat approached us with fabrications and lies, which [will] no longer fool anyone.” Opinion was equally divided on social media, with rival hashtags “in solidarity with Al Jadeed” and “Al Jadeed are liars” revealing apparent divisions within Lebanese society. Many expressed their support for the Amal movement,  and claimed that the accusations against it were false. The Lebanese Interior and Information Ministers visited the studio on Thursday, as well as the owner of private TV station LBCI, according to the Daily Star. Berri’s press office has announced that the Amal leader will be taking legal action against Khayat and Al-Jadeed for what it calls their “false accusations.”
