Lebanon breaks up anti-Trump protest outside US embassy
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLebanese security forces break up a protest outside the heavily guarded US Embassy after demonstrators pelt them with stones.
The protesters gathered early Sunday hundreds of meters outside the embassy to reject the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. After a rowdy start, the protest drew several hundred people and became more peaceful, with demonstrators chanting and singing.
The clashes resumed in the afternoon, with security forces chasing protesters, arresting a handful of them and lobbing tear gas canisters.
Lebanon is home to 450,000 Palestinian refugees, nearly 10 percent of the population.
