Amid ongoing fuel and financial crises in Lebanon, deadly clashes have broken out between police and Hezbollah-allied protesters who are calling for removal of a judge leading the investigation into the massive explosion at Beirut's port in 2020.
With at least at least six people killed and dozens wounded in the latest clashes Thursday, authorities say it’s the most protracted and violent street fighting Beirut has seen in years.
The backdrop for the violence is both an unprecedented crash of the national currency and a crippling energy crisis. Since the country’s two main power plants were shut down on Saturday, Oct. 9, the ongoing erratic supply of electricity has put hospitals and essential services in crisis mode.
These are some of the latest photos of the turmoil in Lebanon.

A Hezbollah supporter fires in the air to celebrate the arrival of Iranian fuel tankers in the eastern town of Baalbek, Lebanon on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2021.

On Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021, a screen on a gasoline pump in Beirut reads, "Fail," after the latest increase in fuel prices, with most gas stations unable to accommodate the new five-digit price for one litre of gas. The technical problem forced most gas stations to shut down, despite the long queues of vehicles waiting to fill up their tanks. Last month, the Lebanon's new government twice raised the price of fuel as part of a gradual lifting of subsidies in the crisis-struck country. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
