And clashes in Beirut too.
Clashes flare in Lebanese capital
Pro-Damascus gunmen clash with rivals in Beirut, in the latest apparent spillover of the conflict in neighbouring Syria.
Clashes have flared in Beirut between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, prompting the deployment of Lebanese troops to calm tensions.
Soldiers in armoured personnel carriers and Humvees fanned across the predominantly Sunni neighbourhood of Tariq Jadideh on Sunday morning.
The deployment came after rival Sunni gunmen exchanged gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades for several hours in the area, in the worst fighting in the Lebanese capital in nearly two years, the Associated Press news agency reported.
One person was killed and 10 people were wounded, according to Reuters news agency, citing security sources.
