The army intervened on Friday after an armed clash broke out between members of the al-Masri family in the eastern Bekaa town of Hawrtaala, state-run National News Agency reported.

The violence did not cause any casualties but resulted in the burning of two houses, NNA said, adding that machineguns were used in the clash.

The agency attributed the unrest to a “blood feud.”

After encircling the town from all sides, according to media reports, NNA said the army was staging patrols on the town's streets as well as raids to arrest the shooters.
