Lebanon orders measures to prevent riots after deal with Israel
Lebanese public prosecutor Ahmad Rami al-Hajj issued a judicial order for security forces to take measures to prevent riots, Lebanese media reported.
The order came after Hezbollah supporters took to the streets in Beirut on Friday evening to protest against the Israel-Lebanon security deal signed in Washington.
Demonstrators blocked a road to the airport with burning tyres in the southern suburbs of the capital.
