Hezbollah supporters protested overnight from Friday to Saturday in Beirut’s streets against the framework agreement reached among Lebanon, Israel, and the United States, according to the National News Agency (NNA).

Hezbollah supporters rode motorcycles through the streets of Beirut, especially in central neighborhoods near Parliament and along a road to the airport, and blocked at least one road with burning tires.

Salim Salam Avenue was thus closed off with burning tires, according to Ani. Iranian flags were seen in amateur footage of the protest.

On the road leading to Beirut airport, the army was deployed and dispersed protesters, who had blocked the lanes, by firing tear gas grenades.
