New landslides hit the outskirts of the town of Kfarnabrakh in the Chouf region and some residents were compelled to evacuate their homes, the state-run National News Agency said on Sunday.
A snowstorm accompanied by heavy rainfall hit the area leading to the collapse of major pathway that lies beneath the houses. The landslide blocked the Kfarnabrakh, Wadi al-Sitt and al-Fowara roads with soil and rocks, NNA added.
A similar incident took place late in November when panicked residents evacuated their homes after a similar landslide.
Residents took to Twitter to publish photos of the landslide.
