Hezbollah supporters block Beirut road to protest Israel-Lebanon agreement




Hezbollah supporters take to the streets of Beirut in protest of an agreement signed by Israel and Lebanon hours earlier.

The state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that “Hezbollah supporters rode motorbikes through the streets of Beirut", including a central area near the parliament and along a road leading to the airport.

The protesters who blocked at least one road with burning tyres also shouted slogans. 

Earlier, Hezbollah MP Amin Sherri had dubbed direct negotiations with Israel a “mistake”. 

“What Israel failed to achieve in two wars, it now seeks to achieve by igniting a war among the Lebanese,” Sherri told Al Jazeera. 

“Israel continues to drag Lebanon into further concessions. Our agreement to the deployment of the army south of the Litani means a complete Israeli withdrawal.”
