We’ve been reviewing footage of protests in Beirut and other parts of Lebanon, where demonstrators have taken to the streets in opposition to the government\u2019s decision to adopt a series of US proposals, which include the disarmament of Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the Lebanese government set a deadline of the end of the year for the full disarmament of the group. The Shia Muslim political and military group is backed by Iran and has been involved in a series of clashes with Israel.<\/p>\n

So far, we’ve geolocated a convoy of motorcycles – many flying the yellow flag of Hezbollah – in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a known stronghold of the group. <\/p>\n

One clip shows a large group of people outside the burial site of former Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah who was killed in an Israeli air strike on 27 September. Prior to his death, Nasrallah had not been seen in public for years because of fears of being assassinated by Israel.<\/p>\n

Lebanese media have also reported similar gatherings in the Bekaa Valley in north-eastern Lebanon, and parts of the south. We are reviewing the footage. <\/p>\n

Hezbollah was severely depleted during last year’s conflict with Israel, but remains a significant political and military force within Lebanon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pro-Hezbollah protests break out in Lebanonpublished at 10:27 British Summer Time 10:27 BST Paul BrownBBC Verify senior journalist…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":327883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13,12,14],"class_list":{"0":"post-327882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114993200266814951","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=327882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/327882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/327883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=327882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=327882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=327882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
