Hezbollah moved their attacks to the central mountains of Lebanon on Sunday.
The AP reported:
Heavy fighting broke out Sunday between supporters of Lebanon’s Western-backed government and opposition followers in the central mountains overlooking the capital, security officials said.
The violence came after overnight clashes in northern Lebanon left one woman dead, bringing the toll across the country for the past five days to 38 — the worst sectarian violence since Lebanon’s 1975-1990 civil war.
Sunday’s fighting between pro-government supporters of Druse leader Walid Jumblatt and Shiite gunmen started in Aytat around 2 p.m., involving exchanges of rocket and machine gunfire. There also were sporadic gunbattles in the eastern Bekaa Valley.
The streets of Beirut, the focus of bloody sectarian clashes between Sunnis and Shiites for four days, were largely deserted on Sunday, a day off in Lebanon. However, many roads remained blocked by the ongoing civil disobedience campaign.
CNN reported that 44 are dead in the violence.

Sandmonkey has a must read including this on Hezbollah television:
OH MY GOD. I am in LOVEEEEEEEEEEE. This channel is great. Ignore the reporting for a second, and watch the Propaganda segments. It’s almost rude in the way it’s direct. I also love the segments where they show that the vacated offices of the FPM had “weapons”, never mind they are showing 2 handguns and an AK47, which is like the standard amount of guns inside any self-respecting Durzi guy’s car and doesn’t exactly constitute “an armed office of a militia”. It’s all bullsh*t, but that’s the beauty of Hezbollah: they don’t care that they are full of sh*t. They know they have a population that will eat it up regardless. Also, they have fantastic graphic work, reminds me of egyptian TV in the 80’s. I mean come on guys, we know u r backwards and stupid, but surely you can do much better in the media production value department, no?
