A civil war will not happen.

Khaldeh clans statement:

"We turn towards the leadership of Hezbullah. We still have time to bury the sedition and resort to the language of reason and law. Media and social media are the ones spreading false and sedition-inciting news. We were not advocates of war."

"We did not spare any effort not to enter into a battle in which we have
no relationship with, and we refuse to pay the bill (be used) for the battle against Hezbullah’s weapons."

Hezbollah statement:

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

During the funeral of the oppressed martyr Ali Shibli to his final resting place in the southern town of Konin, and when the funeral procession arrived at the family’s home in the Khaldeh area, the mourners were subjected to a planned ambush and heavy shooting by gunmen in the area.

As a result, two mourners were killed and several injured.

The Hezbollah leadership, as it follows the issue with great interest and accuracy calls on the army and security forces to intervene decisively to impose security and to work quickly to stop the criminal killers and arrest them in preparation for bringing them to trial."
