Hezbollah supporters have taken over major roads in Beirut and other cities in response to the emerging agreement with Israel, according to a single report. The protests expand on earlier roadblocks in Beirut's southern suburb and near the airport earlier Saturday night.
A single source reports that Hezbollah supporters are blocking major thoroughfares in Beirut and additional cities across Lebanon in protest of the government-to-government agreement with Israel. The report describes the action as a 'takeover' of central roads as a response to what the source calls 'the Israeli victory agreement.' Earlier Saturday night — as The Zioneer reported at 00:07 Jerusalem — Hezbollah supporters had already blocked roads in Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood and near the city's airport. The latest reports suggest the protest movement has spread to additional urban centers. The number of demonstrators, the full scope of the disruptions, and any official response from the Lebanese government or military remain unconfirmed. The agreement underlying the protests has not been formally detailed or ratified by either party.
