At least three people are dead and several injured after heavy gunfire broke out at a protest in Beirut
At least five people were killed Thursday and more than 30 injured as heavy gunfire broke out ahead of a demonstration in Beirut calling for the removal of a judge leading a probe into the deadly August 2020 port blast.
The Lebanese Red Cross reported five deaths during the clashes in the Lebanese capital. Lebanon's Interior Minister Bassam Mawlawi told reporters snipers and gunmen"shot people in the head," while four B7 rockets were fired into the air, in the worst violence the crisis-ridden capital has seen in over 10 years.
