Lebanon detains 19 people after running street battles between heavily armed militias resulted in seven people dead

Thursday’s clashes saw gunmen battling each other for several hours with automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades in the streets of Beirut.

The violence broke out at a protest organised by Hezbollah and Amal which called for the removal of the lead judge investigating last year’s massive explosion at Beirut port. The two Shia groups accused the Christian Lebanese Forces party of starting the shooting. The Lebanese Forces party denied the charges.

Residents in the Tayouneh area of Beirut, where the fighting played out, swept glass from the streets in front of shops and apartment buildings on Friday morning. Soldiers in armoured personnel carriers deployed on the streets, and barbed wire was erected at street entrances.The Tayouneh roundabout leads to a boulevard that splits the area down the middle into Christian and Muslim neighbourhoods.

Tensions over the port blast have contributed to Lebanon’s many troubles, including a currency collapse, hyperinflation, soaring poverty and an energy crisis leading to extended electricity blackouts.
