Hezbollah-led revolt against Lebanon's government continues

BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) - The Hezbollah-led revolt to topple Lebanon's Western-backed government triggered new fighting on Sunday in mountains overlooking the nervous capital, Beirut.

The new mountain war erupted as pro- and anti-government forces clashed in Lebanon's northern port city of Tripoli.

A cease-fire has been reached, but it is unclear if the truce will take effect.

Meanwhile, Lebanese army troops sought to secure Beirut's tense neighborhoods after days of deadly violence between rival Sunni and Shia Muslim gunmen.

At least 44 people were killed and more than 140 wounded since the fighting broke out on Thursday, Lebanon's Internal Security Forces said Sunday.

The figure does not include casualties from Sunday's battles.
