A General Security first sergeant was killed and three security personnel were wounded while chasing a fugitive in the Bekaa town of Chtaura.
MTV said the incident happened near the Ramia hunting rifles store where a security patrol came under gunfire.
Later on Tuesday, a statement issued by the General Directorate of General Security said one of its patrols “came under gunfire while passing on the main road in the Chtaura area, which resulted in the martyrdom of Third Inspector Michel Maalouf and the wounding of two other members.”
The general directorate “is continuing its investigations under the supervision of the relevant judicial authorities in order to unveil the circumstances of the incident,” added the statement.
Quoting sources, al-Manar television said a General Security member was killed and four members of the Internal Security Forces were wounded while chasing fugitives in Chtaura.
"General Security members were conducting their routine patrol in Chtaura when they unexpectedly encountered a clash between an ISF patrol and gunmen who opened fired on both patrols," al-Manar said.
MTV reported a separate incident in the Bekaa, saying unidentified gunmen opened fire at a civilian car carrying a Judicial Police officer but missed it and hit another car instead.
“Security forces are probing the two incidents amid reports that the two areas in which the shootings took place were cordoned off,” MTV added.

Death penalty to all the culprits. The army needs to make a statement. This can’t go on and we cannot live in a state where weapons outside the state are so out of control.

it was judged and punished. i agree that it wasnt punished harshly enough although this isnt first degree murder and thus, not deserving capital punishment. on the other hand, the killing of officers in arsal, who came looking for a wanted man, and parading their bodies on a stolen army humvee, is first degree murder, and a blatant, direct, shameless attack on the army, its prestige and the image of the country behind it. you might disagree and see both the hanna murder and yesterday's murders as the same, but i know that deep down, you know it's not the case.
