Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has undergone a hearth surgery in Paris, Reuters reported.

Hariri, 48,  underwent an angioplasty procedure at the American Hospital in Paris.

Hariri’s personal doctor, Essam Yassin informed that the PM "is in a good health condition" and described the surgery as "precautionary". 

According to him, Hariri will return to his house in Paris later on Monday.

Hariri is the youngest head of state in the region, and has been Lebanon's prime minister for three separate periods since 2009. His father, Rafik Hariri, a business tycoon who also served as Lebanon’s prime minister, was assassinated in 2005.
