Lebanese Protesters Burn Israeli Flag During Anti-Gov't Demonstrations

TEHRAN(Basirat): Lebanese protesters have burnt Israeli flag during their anti-government demonstrations on Monday, as the country has been rocked by nationwide rallies in recent days against rising inflation and living costs.

The rallies on Monday were marred by at least three incidents of flag-burning. During the protests in the Southern Lebanon, demonstrators were filmed burning Israeli flags in the densely populated cities of Sour (Tyre) and Nabatieh. At the heart of downtown Beirut, Israeli flags were also burnt by people in the Riad Al-Solh Square.

Since last Thursday, thousands of protesters have gathered in the streets, blaming the faltering economy on widespread corruption and abuse of privileges among politicians.
