Demonstrators gathered at the site of disturbances in central Beirut have been pushed out of the squares and streets near the Lebanese parliament by army units, RIA Novosti reports.

The demonstration near the parliament building almost immediately turned into disturbances. Demonstrators started throwing stones and explosives at the police and tried to pass over the barriers placed in front of the parliament building.

Demonstrators have destroyed traffic lights and the surveillance cameras placed on office buildings. In response, police used tear gas.

There aren’t any clashes and disturbances. All central squares and the streets leading to those squares are under the control of the army. Based on the data provided by Lebanon’s MTV, nearly 20 were injured as a result of the clashes.
