Lebanon

Hezbollah has withdrawn from Sunni neighborhoods after the Army reinstated the pro-Hezbollah security official at Beirut Airport and said Hezbollah can keep its private communications network. Fourteen people were killed in clashes in the North between pro-government forces and the Syrian Social National Party. Six Sunnis were killed and 20 wounded after “gunmen” attacked a funeral in Beirut. Hezbollah accused supporters of Druze leader Walid Jumblatt of kidnapping three of its members and killing two of them.
