Three people were killed on Sunday in an ambush on Shi'ite mourners in a town south of Beirut, a day after a revenge killing of a member of Lebanon's Hezbollah group, a senior source in the group said.
The three were shot in the town of Khaldeh, where sectarian tensions have long flared between its mixed Shi'ite and Sunni residents.
In turn, the Red Cross called on everyone in Khaldeh to immediately cease fire in order to rescue the wounded and to transport them to hospitals.
