The Lebanese army raided the border town of Britel in Bekaa on Saturday on the backdrop of an armed dispute between two families, said the state-run National News Agency.
A family row that led to gunfire between the Ismail and Murad families caused some damage in one of the town's cafes, NNA added.
The Army Command said in a statement: “A family dispute in Britel between two citizens escalated into shooting using light military weapons. An army force raided the area at dawn and arrested several suspects for possessing ammunition and military equipment.”
