Businessman Bahaa Hariri said in a tweet: "The intentional religious and sectarian hostility will not build a state, but will deepen divisions between the Lebanese, and this is what we condemn today, as my father the martyr Rafic Hariri and the men of independence in Lebanon have done so."
"Let us confront the system that feeds on the blood of sectarianism and take our country to a better tomorrow," he added.
