    BEIRUT: Eighteen people were arrested in connection with two separate shooting incidents in the Bekaa Valley and Beirut Thursday, the Lebanese Army said.
    In a communiqué issued late Thursday, the Army said 12 suspects had been arrested following a chase in connection with the shooting in Marj, in east Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.
    It said 17 people were wounded in the dispute between two families over rental property which developed into an armed fight.
    Security sources said the dispute pitted members of the Abu Othman family against other from the Ghazi clan.
    The army statement said six other suspects were arrested in connection with a separate shooting that took place Thursday evening in the Boushrieh-Fanar area, east of Beirut.
    It said seven people were wounded in the exchange of fire that was the result of a dispute over a electricity generator.
    The army communique said a hunt was ongoing for the arrest of other suspects involved in the shootings. 
    The incidents came two days after six people were killed in a shootout near Baalbek in the Bekaa Valley in a long-standing dispute over land ownership between two families.
    Security sources said the shooting took place early Tuesday as members of the Kanaan and Issa families were visiting a cemetery in Khraibeh.
    Five members of the Kanaan family, including a child, and one from the Issa family were killed. Six other people from both families were wounded
    In a separate incident, unidentified individuals shot and killed one person and wounded another in the village of Dqoun in Aley, the National News Agency reported Tuesday.
    Also Tuesday, in east Lebanon’s city of Zahle, two brothers shot and wounded a man over a prior dispute. A bystander was also injured, NNA said.
