Violent clashes are taking place now in the Al-Sharawneh neighborhood, between the "Al Jaafar" and "Al Zaiter" clans, in which medium weapons and rocket-propelled grenades are used, and random bullets are fired at most neighborhoods of the city of Baalbek. https://t.co/v9vkEFu3Fi

The judge assigned with investigating the port explosion met with PM Diab to investigate the reason why he didn't go to the port after being informed and to know the identity of the officer that told him to delay his trip and downgraded the threat the ammonium nitrate posed.

At least two have been injured by stray bullets in Baalbek, and were transferred to Al Tatari Hospital & Al Dar Al Amal for treatment.

US Near Eastern Affairs David Schenker reiterated that the United States does not provide "assistance to the government directly because we do not want it to fall into the hands of Hezbollah or for Hezbollah in any way to benefit, a specific terrorist organization." 1/ https://t.co/YinRUpfVcC

He stressed that the United States desperately wants to help people in Lebanon, "and we do that every day through humanitarian assistance." He said: We also want to help the Lebanese government, but we cannot help the Lebanese government if it does not help itself. 2/
