  • Hundreds of protesters demonstrated along the capital’s main roads leading up the Downtown-based parliament in protest of the session, with several attempting to remove the barricades and barbed wire blocking the road - leading to clashes with security forces.

  • The parliamentary session was thus postponed due to lack of quorum.

  • Protests across the country continued, including cities such as Tripoli, Sidon and Tyre.

  • In Tripoli, demonstrations were held in front of telecommunications companies Alfa and MTC Touch, as well as Lebanese airline Middle East Airlines offices.

  • Several protesters were detained by security forces in the evening following clashes.

  • Banks reopened after 10 days of strike with soldiers deployed in front of each branch, with new measures imposed on all accounts. A weekly cap of USD1000 was set on all outgoing transfers and cash withdrawals.
