Protesters blocked several roads and a rocket was fired at a gas station Wednesday as public anger continues to rise in Lebanon over the debilitating economic crisis.
Local residents cut off a road in the coastal city of Sidon in protest against worsening fuel shortages. Protesters in nearby Zahrani also blocked a street to a gas station that refused to sell fuel. Demonstrators also forced road closures in Tripoli and Beddawi in the north, the official National News Agency reported.
