Lebanon's troubles have flared up again as protesters in Beirut blocked roads and burnt tyres in a strike aiming to bring down the government.
Main roads and highways connecting the capital with Damascus in Syria and other major nodal points have also been targeted.
The pro-Western government, led by prime minister Fouad Siniora, accuses Hizbullah supporters of trying to undermine the political system by staging a coup.
Samir Geagea, a senior Christian leader, told al-Jazeera's television station: "What is happening is the furthest thing from democratic means. This is direct terrorism to paralyse the country."
Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah criticised Mr Siniora's economic reforms at a rally on Monday, saying, "if this team stays in power, we are headed to economic collapse," reports Bloomberg.
Although the campaign has been ongoing peacefully since December, tension between the two sides is mounting in Beirut and three people were injured by gunfire today.
The government is publicly dismissing the protests but it is believed that the instability could knock tourists' confidence in the once popular holiday destination, especially as it is still suffering the effects of last year's war with Israel.
The Foreign Office is advising against "all but essential travel to Lebanon" and "against all travel south of the Litani River".
