Hezbollah, Army set up checkpoints in Beirut suburbs
Unarmed Hezbollah members were searching vehicles and checking the IDs of drivers at several points along the Hadi Nasrallah highway.
The Lebanese Army also set up separate checkpoints in the area.
The
heightened security comes days after a suspected suicide bombing killed
four people in the neighborhood of Haret Hreik, where the party enjoys
broad support.
Tuesday’s bombing was the fourth deadly blast
targeting the southern suburbs. Radical Syrian rebel groups have claimed
most of the attacks, describing them as retaliation for Hezbollah’s
military role alongside President Bashar Assad's forces in Syria.
