Three dead in ambush on Shi'ite mourners south of Beirut - Hezbollah source

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.

This as the Lebanese army announced later in the day that it beefed up its deployment in the region and is conducting foot and motorized patrols.
The army Command stressed that its units will shoot at any gunman on the roads in the region of Khaldeh and at anyone who shoots from anywhere else.
For his part, Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati followed up on the Khaldeh’s incidents during a phone call with Lebanese Armed Forces Commander Major General Joseph Aoun.
Mikati also called on the residents in the region to "be aware and exercise restraint in order to prevent bloodshed and not be drawn into strife and useless fighting."

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.
