(Carnegie Middle East Center) Michael Young - On Oct. 14, fighting broke out in Beirut between Hizbullah and unidentified gunmen believed to be from the Christian Lebanese Forces militia, as protestors were heading toward the Palace of Justice to oppose the ongoing investigation into the Beirut port blast of Aug. 4, 2020. The fighting killed seven people and injured 32. A majority of the victims of the port explosion were Christian, and many Christians believe Hizbullah was responsible for the explosion.
