BEIRUT: At least six people were killed and 32 others sustained injuries in a shooting spree in Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon.
The gunshots occurred during a protest by the Shia Muslim groups Hezbollah and Amal against the judge investigating last year’s huge blast at the city’s port.
They said Christian snipers from the Lebanese Forces (LF) faction opened fires on the crowd to drag Lebanon into strife – a claim denied by the LF.
No-one has yet been held accountable for the August 2020 explosion that killed at least 219 across the swathes of the city.
