Hezbollah says at least two people killed in the attack in Kaldeh, as the army deploys to contain sectarian tensions.
Unidentified gunmen in the Lebanese town of Kaldeh have killed at least two people at the funeral of a Hezbollah commander killed a day earlier, the group said. Iranian-backed Hezbollah, Lebanon’s most powerful armed group, said two of the mourners were confirmed dead in what it said was a planned ambush and called on the security forces to restore security in the coastal town, located south of Beirut, and pursue the culprits. Local media outlets said up to four people may have been killed in ensuing clashes. Local television networks showed footage of armed youths rampaging in the area.More Related News
