Hezbollah Supporters Riot in Beirut Over Israel-Lebanon Deal, Lawmaker Warns of Civil War

Hezbollah supporters rode motorbikes through central Beirut and the southern suburbs on June 26 to protest a new framework agreement between Lebanon and Israel. A lawmaker aligned with the Iran-backed group warned that enforcing the deal could spark civil war without Hezbollah’s resistance. Temporary army checkpoints were set up as protesters blocked roads near the airport and government buildings with burning tyres. Footage from local outlets showed angry crowds chanting slogans along major roads. Soldiers later dispersed protesters and reopened the airport route. On the forum, some users are questioning the wisdom of the framework and expressing surprise that even Hezbollah rejects an agreement praised by Iran.
