Beirut this weekend saw the worst violence since protests against the country’s elite erupted in October, with hundreds injured as security forces deployed water cannon and rubber bullets to disperse stone-throwing protesters. President Michel Aoun met security chiefs on Monday to work out a plan for deterring violent groups that “security services have detailed information on” while protecting property and peaceful protesters, sources at the meeting said.
The country’s consumer protection association said it had seen “a rise in prices for the first time in Lebanon’s history at rates exceeding 40% over the past three months,” a statement cited by state news agency NNA said.
