In scenes reminiscent of the war, local television stations broadcast footage of bullets bouncing off buildings and people running for cover. One of the dead was a woman who was struck by a bullet while in her home, a military source said, adding that all the dead so far were Shiites. As Prime Minister Najib Mikati called for calm, the army deployed heavily in the area and said it would open fire against any armed person on the road.
Bursts of gunfire were heard for hours, along with several explosions that appeared to be rocket propelled-grenades fired into the air, Reuters witnesses said. Hezbollah, a heavily armed group backed by Iran, has led calls for investigating Judge Tarek Bitar to be removed, accusing him of bias.
Eeeh the situation in Lebanon is serious I think the world needs to take notice and help Lebanon... We've been seeing reports of how bad the situation is but what solutions are there to help Lebanon?! I guess they can all burn because their crisis doesn't affect the West 🤔
