A protest in Beirut has escalated into violence as armed men trade fire, leaving six dead and more than a dozen injured.
Hezbollah supporters had gathered in the Beirut Justice Palace calling for the removal of judge Tarek Bitar from the Beirut 2020 port explosion probe, accusing him of bias. Hezbollah supporters also claimed a rival Christian faction targeted the protest with snipers, leading to the chaos.
The Lebanese army was called in to contain the situation.
