Angry depositors smash bank facades in Lebanon as they demand their deposits

A number of Lebanese depositors smashed the facades of a number of banks in the capital, Beirut, and set tires on fire in front of them, coinciding with the arrival of members of the army, which led to confrontations between the two sides.

This step came, due to the inability of depositors to withdraw their money, in a move called for by the “Depositors’ Cry” association.

Al-Araby website reported that the protesters smashed the facades of at least 4 banks, and threw Molotov cocktails inside them, noting that the angry protesters then headed towards the house of the head of the Association of Banks in Beirut.
