A dispute between young men from the Joud and Ismail families in the Akkar town of Sahlat al-Qammouha erupted into a fistfight that was followed by a grenade attack on the house of one of the quarrelling men in the Akkar town of Fnaideq, state-run National News Agency reported Sunday.

The quarrel and the grenade attack caused no casualties, NNA added.

A Lebanese army unit then intervened to restore calm in the town, arresting a number of people suspected of being involved in the incident, NNA said, adding that army troops were still pursuing several suspects.
