Hezbollah supporters set up more roadblocks in Beirut overnight, expanding protests that began Saturday night against the emerging Lebanon-Israel agreement, according to Abu Ali Express. The new blockades follow the Lebanese army's overnight dispersal of burning tire roadblocks in the capital.
Overnight, Hezbollah supporters expanded their protest campaign against the emerging framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel by setting up additional roadblocks across Beirut. The Lebanese army had earlier dispersed burning tire roadblocks in the capital earlier Saturday night. As The Zioneer reported since late Saturday, the protests have included clashes in central Beirut, armed Hezbollah operatives at demonstrations, and renewed blocking of the Al-Mashrafiya Bridge in the southern Dahieh neighborhood. The overnight expansion suggests sustained opposition to the agreement, with Hezbollah having declared Friday it is not bound by the deal. The new blockades, according to a single source (Abu Ali Express), continue a pattern of unrest that has seen the Lebanese army repeatedly disperse Hezbollah-aligned protesters. No casualties have been reported in the latest wave.
