Man shot dead as Lebanese army disperse protesters
A man was shot dead south of Beirut after the army opened fire to disperse protesters blocking roads, Lebanese state media said yesterday. The victim “succumbed to his injuries” in hospital, the National News Agency said, the second death during the nationwide protests that have paralysed the country for nearly a month. On Tuesday night, street protests erupted after President Michel Aoun defended the role of his allies, whom protesters see as corrupt and inefficient.
