REPORT: Residents of Arsal hold funeral for man killed in al-Labweh ambush
 
Residents of the northeastern border town of Arsal held a funeral on Monday dawn amid tight security measures for Mohammad Hassan Hjairi who was killed in an ambush yesterday in the town of al-Labweh.

This as a delegation representing the March 14 coalition is set to visit the town today.

Earlier, the state-run National News Agency reported that "Mohammad Abbas, a Syrian national who was kidnapped in Sunday's ambush, was released thanks to efforts exerted by local clans".

Lebanese citizen Mohammad Hassan Hjairi, aka Doukhan, was killed on Sunday and each of Ahmad Khaled Hjairi, aka Qatshe, and Ali Fliti, aka Ali al-Zahwi, as well as the mayor of Arsal Ali Hjairi, were injured in an ambush in the al-Labweh region following the exchange of detained citizen Youssef Mokdad with other kidnapped persons from Arsal.

In this regard, sources told LBCI that following the exchange of Youssef Mokdad at the Intelligence Bureau in Ras Baalbek with 13 kidnapped persons from Arsal, the convoy of the Arsal delegation comprised of up of 10 vehicles was ambushed by gunmen on the Al-Labweh, Nabi Othman road.

The sources added to LBCI that the armed group that carried out the ambush kidnapped the Syrian national Mohammad Abbas.

Tribal ties run deep in the Bekaa, and violence can quickly escalate. Such incidents worsened since Syria's crisis began in March 2011 with Shiite Muslims supporting President Bashar Assad's regime while Sunnis mainly back the uprising.
