Al-Jazeera correspondent in Lebanon reported that one of the depositors stormed a commercial bank in Beirut to demand his deposit.
One of the depositors also stormed another commercial bank in the town of Ghazieh, in southern Lebanon, demanding to obtain his financial deposit.
Al-Jazeera correspondent said that the depositor brandished a plastic pistol, demanding the bank's employees to hand him over his deposit, threatening to burn himself unless his demand was met.
The case ended after the depositor got about twenty thousand dollars, then turned himself in to the security authorities.
Amid an increase in depositors' incursions into banks, the Association of Lebanese Banks said that Lebanese banks will close their doors for three days, starting next Monday, due to security concerns.
Since the fall of 2019, Lebanese banks have imposed strict restrictions on deposit withdrawals, which increased little by little, until it became almost impossible for depositors to dispose of their money, especially those deposited in US dollars, with the value of the lira declining more than 90% against the dollar.
The World Bank has ranked Lebanon's economic crisis among the worst in the world since 1850.
The same scene took place last week in Beirut, after a depositor stormed a branch of the BLOM Bank in Beirut, brandishing a weapon that later turned out to be plastic, in order to obtain part of her deposit.
Depositor Sally Hafez turned into a "hero", as described by the pioneers of social networking sites who reported her story, and a picture of her holding a pistol and standing at the desk of a bank employee.
On August 11, an angry man entered a bank in the Hamra district of Beirut, garnered similar public solidarity, after holding employees for hours and demanding his money at gunpoint to pay for his father's treatment.
