At least six people were killed and 32 wounded as shots were fired during a protest by Hezbollah supporters against Tarek Bitar, the judge investigating the Beirut Port blast, in Beirut on Thursday, as tensions surrounding the case continue to rise.

A cautious calm had been reached as of Thursday afternoon, according to Lebanese reports.

The shooting reportedly began in the Tayouneh area where it meets Ain El Remmaneh and Chiyah, a site famous for sectarian clashes during the 1975 civil war in Lebanon, as it marked the border between East Beirut and West Beirut.

Hezbollah has a lot of texture to it

It’s Iran’s virtual army anywhere it can place it where Shiite population rule

Iran is the Germany of Middle East Muslims...it dwarfs all except Pakistan ..which is more middle subcontinent sphere

I’m a student of then Syrian civil war and spillover

Hezbollah is aside from Assad forces themselves the most protective of Christian minorities in the region

Back during the old SLA ...and general Haddad days one could say Israel was....Sharon invasion era

That ship has sailed

This is a very complicated area ....very...a tar pit

Never

Lebanon through birth and Christian exodus and yes I’ll say it....being tugged between Israel and her foes is not longer a Pearl and Christian powered nation

It’s Shiite

And they want Hezbollah there and frankly Hezbollah protected Christians from daesh..isis or isil or whatever

Iran is not some backwater...relatively speaking they have muscle and are staying in Lebanon

Israel lacks the power now to expel them without nukes

You can thank Clinton and Bushism for that

It’s not as black and white as folks here wish for

They’ve undoubtedly been sick of Hez wrecking the place for
40+ years, but they lack they arms to counterattack and they are not warlike. Silly them, they’d rather have a functioning prosperous country.
