Yesterday, two depositors in Lebanon stormed two banks by force of arms in the south of the country, while the families of the victims of the Beirut port explosion organized a protest to demand the resumption of the investigation.
Yesterday noon, one of the depositors, carrying a military pistol, stormed the Lebanese-French Bank in Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon, to demand 50 thousand dollars as part of his deposit, in order to treat his two sons who suffer from diabetes.
A problem occurred in the city of Sidon, also in the south of the country, between a depositor who tried to enter the Bank of Lebanon and Overseas, and the bank guards who prevented him.
The depositor attempted to storm the bank by force of arms, firing at the main entrance door.
A Lebanese army intelligence force attended, put a cordon around the place, and proceeded to arrest the depositor, and investigations into the incident were launched.
On the other hand, the families of the victims of the Beirut port explosion in Lebanon, yesterday, carried out a protest movement in front of the Palace of Justice in Beirut, to demand the resumption of judicial investigations into the file.
A number of residents entered the Palace of Justice building, where a scuffle took place with the security forces responsible for protecting the building, and the protesters threw stones at the building, which led to the breaking of some window panes in the building.
Security forces and riot police deployed in the vicinity of the Palace of Justice building.
The people demanded the resumption of investigations into the port explosion, to find out how their children were killed in the explosion of August 4, 2020.
The people were accompanied by a number of change-making deputies, lawyers and solidarity citizens.
