Hezbollah issued a statement on Wednesday clarifying the details of what occurred at the Kahaleh road in the Aley region in Mount Lebanon Governorate.

According to the Lebanese Resistance party, while one of its trucks was on its way to Beirut coming from Bekaa, the vehicle overturned on the road in the Kahaleh area, east of Beirut.

While personnel involved with delivering the truck were making phone calls requesting assistance to get it back on the road so that it continues to its designated destination, a number of armed individuals from the militias in the region gathered and attacked the Resistance members in an attempt to seize the truck.

Hezbollah's statement continued, "The gunmen first started throwing stones [at the vehicle's personnel] and then opened fire, which resulted in the injury of one of our brothers charged with guarding the truck, and he was martyred shortly after reaching the hospital."

Footage circulating on social media revealed that an armed militant initiated the fire exchange by shooting at the Hezbollah member who was later martyred.

The party concluded that "contacts are still underway to address the issue."

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Najib Mikati followed up with the Army Commander, General Joseph Aoun, on the circumstances of the incident.

The Prime Minister called for expediting the ongoing investigations to uncover the full details of what happened, in parallel with taking the required field measures to control the situation.

Mikati called on parties to "exercise wisdom and calmness and not be drawn into impulsive reactions and wait for the outcome of the ongoing investigations."

He stressed that the army is continuing its efforts to restore order and prevent things from taking a wrong turn.
