(25 Oct 2019) Clashes broke out in Lebanon on Friday between riot police and supporters of the militant Hezbollah group.
It happened when black-shirted Hezbollah supporters tried to disrupt an anti-government protest in Beirut, using batons to attack the protesters.
Riot police intervened, encircling the Hezbollah supporters to separate them from the anti-government protesters.
The Hezbollah supporters then threw sticks and stones at the police.
It marked the most serious development since protests erupted in Lebanon just over a week ago.
Shortly after the scuffles, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah went on television to warn that the escalating unrest could drag Lebanon back into civil war.
Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, is part of the Lebanese government, and is widely regarded as the most powerful force in the country.
The anti-goverment demonstrators have vowed to keep their protests peaceful.
