PM Salam orders probe into Saqyet Al Janzeer incident, calls for calm in Beirut

Lebanon’s Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said that what he witnessed in Saqyet Al Janzeer on Saturday afternoon—describing acts of violence by members of a state security force against civilians, including gunfire and the intimidation of residents—is unacceptable under any justification.

In a post on X, Salam said he has issued strict orders to launch immediate investigations to clarify the circumstances of what happened, and to take the necessary disciplinary and judicial measures against those involved.

He also called on residents of Beirut to exercise maximum restraint in order to preserve the security of the capital and ensure the safety of its people.
