Two Lebanese ministers filmed throwing rocks at Israeli border
Two Lebanese government ministers are filmed throwing rocks at the Israeli border while on a tour of the country’s south yesterday.
In the video, Energy Minister Walid Fayad and Social Affairs Minister Hector Hajjar can be seen throwing rocks, laughing and saying they “need to practice.”
The video draws criticism on social media from within Lebanon, which is in the midst of a major economic crisis, with one commentator noting that Fayad only manages to provide the country with one hour of electricity a day and Hajjar should be dealing with the 80 percent of the country who are below the poverty line
