Abu Nazih refuses to hand over the workers, stating that they have worked with the family for over 10 years.<br \/>  <br \/>    <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"ar\" dir=\"rtl\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7cNZZlsrIh\">pic.twitter.com\/7cNZZlsrIh<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Salman Andary (@salmanonline) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/salmanonline\/status\/1297806686498033665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 24, 2020<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>  <br \/>  <br \/>  The security personnel then arrest Abu Nazih while his daughter films the entire ordeal.<br \/>  <br \/>  It&#8217;s important to note that Em Nazih was one of the spaces severely damaged by the Beirut explosion, and Abu Nazih had reportedly sustained many injuries in the blast. And after everything they&#8217;ve went through, our authorities still found them more guilty than those responsible for the blast in the first place. <br \/>  <br \/>  Meanwhile, the ISF released a statement saying that their intention was to clear the building that was in structural danger. <br \/>  <br \/>    <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"ar\" dir=\"rtl\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B6%D9%8A%D8%AD?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D9%82%D9%88%D9%89_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D9%85%D9%86?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\"><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CYIPp6Zlgx\">pic.twitter.com\/CYIPp6Zlgx<\/a><\/p>&mdash;
