A Beirut port worker revealed in a televised interview that the "welding operations" were the cause of the fire in the "BCC" warehouse, which was carried out by a company, which led to the outbreak of a fire in a warehouse of vegetable oils, food goods and clothes.

Brigadier General Khattar: We have not yet controlled the fire, and we ask the port administration to determine the nature of the materials in the warehouses to preserve the safety of the elements.

Al-Qaisi to MTV: I will issue a circular imposing on all merchants who store or transport their goods in Beirut Port to inform the Army Command and the Port Administration of what will they do with these materials first.

Spare us HRW, we don't need lectures. We know our state.

Second of all, kindly go read some international news and learn about the hundreds of fires going on all around the world including Europe and USA that not only affected forests but also chemical plants and institutions. https://t.co/85G5BUNfu2

And since Mrs. Aya you also cover Bahrain, I wonder the lack of coverage there.

Well considering that half a dozen of religious speakers got arrested few days ago and you didn't bother covering that...for HRW.

NNA: All of the roads leading to Beirut Port have been blocked, especially the Ring Bridge.

@afawaz135 No I'm not defending the state. I'm simply protesting the agitation against it by foreigners and the likes of HRW that are abetting others to take dramatic actions against the state, that will eventually affect the general population.

Head of Global Environment party Doumit Kamel to MTV: Beirut residents live in a polluted air mass as a result of the burning of rubber tires since dangerous particles remain in the lungs.

Kamel to MTV: I call on residents to close their windows and doors, and a health committee must be formed immediately after the fire in Beirut Port.

Today at around 5:10 pm, a drone belonging to the Israeli enemy penetrated the Lebanese airspace over the town of Aita al-Shaab, and was shot down by members of one of the army posts at a distance of 200 meters from the Blue Line inside Lebanese territory.

It's likely a small drone. But why didn't the IDF post anything yet? As usual waiting for the Lebanese side first.

IDF confirmed the event now. https://t.co/jxlek8YaTu
