　　The worst conflict in 13 years!

　　On the 14th, a demonstration in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, turned into a serious conflict, causing dozens of deaths and injuries.

　　According to media reports, under the organization of the radical organization Hezbollah and its allies, thousands of people demonstrated and protested, demanding the dismissal of the chief judge in charge of investigating the Beirut port explosion. But after the gunmen opened fire on the protesters, a fierce armed conflict broke out.

　　The Lebanese Interior Minister said that six people were killed and 30 injured in the conflict. The Lebanese army says it has detained nine suspects who opened fire on protesters during the Beirut demonstration and is investigating.

　　Hezbollah and its allies said in a statement on the 14th that their protesters were shot by snipers deployed on the roof. In the following hours, gunshots were heard on the streets of Beirut, and ambulances honked their horns to rescue the wounded. A security official said that four shells landed near a private school, causing panic.

　　The weapons used in the exchange of fire include pistols, Kalashnikovs and rocket-propelled grenades, which seriously escalated the tension. This is the most serious armed conflict in Lebanon since 2008.

　　Multi-party urged to remain calm.

　　The core of this conflict is the explosion of Beirut port on August 4, 2020, which killed at least 215 people, injured thousands and partially destroyed nearby communities. The explosion was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history, which further plunged Lebanon, which had been hit by political differences and unprecedented economic and financial collapse, into trouble.

　　So far, no one has been held accountable for this extraordinarily serious chemical explosion. Bertard, the judge in charge of investigating the port bombing, was strongly opposed by Hezbollah and its allies, who accused him of political bias.

　　In a statement, Mikati, the newly appointed Lebanese Prime Minister, called for calm and urged people "not to be involved in civil strife".

　　The State Council spokesman Price told reporters: "We join the Lebanese authorities in calling on everyone to calm down and let tensions cool down."

　　In response to the violence in Lebanon, UN Secretary-General Guterres called for an immediate end to the violence and continued investigations into the devastating explosion in August 2020.

　　Joanna Voronyi, the United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, also issued a statement condemning the violence on 14th. She stressed the need for restraint, maintaining calm and stability, and ensuring the protection of civilians.
