The Lebanese army contained on Monday a family dispute in the northern district of Akkar that left several people dead and wounded, the state-run National News Agency and Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) reported.

NNA said that Ahmed Hamza was killed and his brother Shaalan and three others were injured when the dispute on a land plot between members of the Hamza family in the town of Safinat al-Qateeh turned into a gunfight.

VDL said, however, that at least two people died and seven, including two soldiers, were injured.

The wounded were taken to hospitals in the region.
