Tires Burn in New Aerial Footage of Beirut Protests

Tires were burned in an attempt to block a major highway amid fresh protests in Beirut, Lebanon, on August 25. The fires on Fouad Chehab Highway came during ongoing demonstrations, which have been labelled the “You Stink” protests. This footage is described by the uploader as not related to the garbage crisis that was a catalyst for anti-government protests.

There have been local reports of residents burning tires in support of the demonstrators and of the protesters themselves burning tires. Credit: Tarek Chehab
