Lebanon’s capital was paralyzed last week by conflicts between supporters of the Iranian- backed group Hezbollah and militants loyal to the Western-backed government.

According to Lebanese authorities, clashes also burst out in northern town Tripoli. Members of Hezbollah attacked supporters of the pro-government Druze leader, Walid Jumblatt.

A delegation of the Arab League is to be sent in the area with the purpose of pouring oil on the troubled waters, as the casualties’ rate has reached the worrisome number of 47.

“What is going on in Lebanon is unacceptable. We are very worried about this. We might succeed and we might not, but we have to try,” said Amr Moussa, Secretary general of the Arab League, as BBC News quotes.

Activity in the area is still partially resumed. Several roads are blocked and the international airport is still closed, making transport in and out the country difficult.

The conflicts broke after the Lebanese government decided to shut down Hezbollah’s telecommunication network. The leader of the Shiite Muslim opposition gunmen, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, said in a press conference that the attacks will cease only under the condition that the government withdraws its actions regarding Hezbollah’s network.

A delegation of foreign ministers will join the commission sent by the Arab League, trying to solve the crisis somehow.

Even the Lebanese Archbishop drums up sectarian groups to reconcile, urging the Vatican to help, as Catholic News Service reports.

“The Lebanese do not at all want war. We are insisting that the Christian political leaders be wise and avoid participation in this armed conflict. We are calling on them to do everything to reconcile peacefully the two groups,” said Archbishop Bechara Rai of Jbeil.
