BEIRUT, May 12, 2008 (Reuters) — At least 36 people were killed in fierce clashes on Sunday between Hezbollah gunmen and supporters of a pro-government Druze leader in mountains east of Beirut, security sources said on Monday.
One source said the dead included 14 Hezbollah fighters. Hezbollah and allied fighters over ran several positions of gunmen loyal to Walid Jumblatt in the Aley district before the Druze leader agreed to hand over his positions to the Lebanese army.
