Streets of Beirut and the airport road were adorned last night with billboards congratulating the United States on its Independence Day, according to Abu Ali Express. The display stands in contrast to the pro-Iranian sentiment usually visible in the city.
Beirut streets and the airport road were decorated with billboards congratulating the United States on its Independence Day last night, according to Abu Ali Express. The billboards appeared to the chagrin of Hezbollah supporters, who have recently staged protests against the US-brokered framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel. The display marks a visible pro-American sentiment in a city that has seen pro-Iranian banners and Hezbollah flags in recent weeks. The timing coincides with the US July 4 holiday. No official reaction from Hezbollah or the Lebanese government has been reported.
