Various of firefighters dousing burning cars\u003cbr/\u003eOn January 2nd 2014 an explosion rocked a stronghold of the Shiite Hezbollah group in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital.\u003cbr/\u003eThe blast killed at least five people, set cars ablaze and sent a column of black smoke above the Beirut skyline.\u003cbr/\u003eThe nature of the explosion that hit during rush hour in the Haret Hreik neighborhood was not immediately clear, but a Lebanese security official said it appeared to be caused by a car bomb.\u003cbr/\u003eIf confirmed as a bombing, then it would be the latest in a wave of attacks to hit Lebanon in recent months as the civil war in Syria increasingly spills over into its smaller neighbour.\u003cbr/\u003eThe attacks have targeted both Sunni and Shiite neighbourhoods, further stoking sectarian tensions that are already running high because of the war next door.\u003cbr/\u003eLebanon's Health Ministry said at least five people were killed and 20 wounded in the explosion, which left the mangled wreckage of cars in the street and blew out the windows of store fronts.\u003cbr/\u003eAn Associated Press reporter on the scene saw two bodies on the street, and at least 10 wounded people.\u003cbr/\u003eAt least one building had its front blown off, nearby buildings were damaged and several cars were completely destroyed.\u003cbr/\u003eClashes between supporters and opponents of the Syrian regime renewed overnight into the early hours ofJanuary 19th in the Lebanese city of Tripoli.\u003cbr/\u003eSnipers cut the highway connecting the city with the northern Akkar province, bordering Syria.\u003cbr/\u003eLebanese Army units responded to the sources of fire using flares to locate the gunmen's positions.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to a Lebanese news agency, four civilians and two army soldiers were injured in the clashes.\u003cbr/\u003eTripoli witnessed some 19 rounds of deadly clashes since the uprising against President Bashar Assad began in March of 2011, between residents of the pro-Assad Alawite neighbourhood of Jabal Mohsen and their rivals in the Sunni-dominant Bab al-Tabbaneh area.\u003cbr/\u003eA car bomb ripped through a Shiite neighbourhood in southern Beirut on January 21st, killing at least two people, in the latest attack targeting supporters of the militant Hezbollah group in Lebanon.\u003cbr/\u003eThousands of people flocked to the Haret Hreik neighbourhood after the explosion.\u003cbr/\u003eLebanon's official media said a suicide bomber in a vehicle was behind the attack.\u003cbr/\u003eA series of attacks have hit Lebanon recently as Syria's civil war spills over into its smaller neighbour, targeting both the country's Sunnis and Shiites. \u003cbr/\u003eIt has further stoked sectarian tensions that are already running high as each Lebanese community lines up with its brethren on opposing sides of the war in Syria.\u003cbr/\u003eSimilar attacks have targeted Shiite areas in Lebanon in retaliation for the Lebanese militant Hezbollah group fighting in Syria on the side of President Bashar Assad's troops.\u003cbr/\u003eMost recently on January 16th, a car bomb struck the northeastern town of Hermel close to the Syrian border during rush hour, killing at least three people and wounding more than 20.\u003cbr/\u003eTwo suicide attackers from an al-Qaida-linked group blew themselves up on February 19th trying to hit an Iranian cultural centre in a Shiite district in southern Beirut, killing at least two people, according to Lebanese security officials. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was the latest apparent attack linked to the civil war in neighbouring Syria.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Abdullah Azzam Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack, which security officials said was believed to have been carried out by two suicide bombers.\u003cbr/\u003eOfficials said another 38 people were wounded. They spoke anonymously as they were not authorised to talk to the press.\u003cbr/\u003eAn Associated Press photographer in the Bir Hassan area where the blast occurred said he heard two explosions near the Kuwaiti Embassy and Iran's cultural centre.\u003cbr/\u003eFire engines and ambulances rushed to the area and were seen evacuating some of the wounded in stretchers. Soldiers also deployed and cordoned the area.\u003cbr/\u003eBlast walls were set up in front of the Iranian cultural centre recently apparently for fear of such attacks.\u003cbr/\u003eThe explosions were also close to an orphanage house run by an Islamic charity and an army barracks, the officials said.\u003cbr/\u003eA wave of bombings linked to the war in neighbouring Syria has struck Lebanon over the past few months, killing and wounding scores of people. Many have hit Shiite areas.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Abdullah Azzam Brigades said on its Twitter account that it will give more details about the \"invasion of the Iranian cultural centre by your brothers\" in the Sunni radical group.\u003cbr/\u003eThe officials said troops in the area suspected one of the suicide attackers and opened fire at him, apparently forcing the two to blow themselves up prematurely, before reaching the Iranian cultural centre.\u003cbr/\u003ePrime Minister Tammam Salam, whose Cabinet was formed on February 15th, said the blast is \"a message by forces of terrorism to continue in their plan to spread death in Lebanon.\"\u003cbr/\u003eFebruary 19th's blasts came after Lebanese troops recently detained an alleged mastermind of similar attacks. \u003cbr/\u003eOfficials said he led them to several vehicles rigged with explosives. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of the deadliest attacks occurred in November when two suicide attackers blew themselves outside the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, killing 23 people and wounded dozens. \u003cbr/\u003eThat attack was claimed by the Abdullah Azzam Brigades.\u003cbr/\u003eThe group's leader was captured by Lebanese authorities in December 2013 and died in custody later in the month.\u003cbr/\u003eIran is a major backer of Hezbollah, a Lebanese Shiite militia.\u003cbr/\u003eBoth are allies with Syrian President Bashar Assad. \u003cbr/\u003eSyrian rebels have vowed to strike against Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon in retaliation for its participation in the war.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
