A soldier was killed and two civilians were injured on Wednesday when financial differences turned into a gunbattle between residents of two towns in the eastern Bekaa valley, the National News Agency reported.

NNA said soldier Mohammed Jaafar Nasereddine and Ali Assaad Dabbous and Mohammed al-Fliti were wounded when the residents of the towns of al-Ain and Arsal in Bekaa’s north battled with guns.

Al-Ain’s residents condemned the crime and rejected to receive the body of the dead man, the agency added.

The residents of Arsal called for self-restraint and extended their condolences to those residing in al-Ain.
