“I witnessed many wars in Lebanon, but I don’t think that I will ever forget the sound and the scene of this explosion in Beirut. Parts of the demonstrations remained peaceful, while other parts were predominantly filled with angry protesters who faced off with security forces. “The directorate confirms that the reporting is not true and that the person is not a member of the Internal Security Forces. Emphasizing that the Internal Security Forces did not fire any kind of bullets while maintaining security downtown Beirut,” the statement by the Lebanese ISF said. They are planning more demonstrations and more occupations of government buildings starting Tuesday — the one week anniversary of the catastrophic port explosion.
