Oct 17 - Lebanon
9 pm local time
Demonstrators chanting:
"People demand the government's overthrow!"

Reminder:
Lebanon, like Iraq, is under #Iran's influence through Hezbollah. People are fed up & are demanding change.

#UPDATE - #Lebanon
-Demonstrations in various regions across the country, including Beirut
-Reports of people fainting due to extensive use of tear gas by security forces, ambulances transferring the injured
-Protesters stormed a telecom company in Beirut

#UPDATE - #Lebanon
People reporting masked supporters of #Iran-backed Hezbollah are vandalizing shops to portray a negative image of the Lebanese people's demonstrations.

My take:
Tehran has taught its proxies well.

Oct 18 - Beirut, #Lebanon
Scenes after midnight.

#Lebanon
Police supporting the people's massive anti-corruption demonstrations.

My take:
Wherever #Iran's regime has influence, people are protesting poor living conditions & are saying enough is enough.

Brave Lebanese woman preventing a security guard from using his weapon against demonstrators.
