In a recent turn of events, the branch of McDonald’s in Spinneys, Sidon was reportedly attacked by Pro-Palestinian groups.
The cause behind this attack is reportedly because McDonald’s Israel served meals to Israeli troops.
Following the protest that took place outside McDonald’s Saida, McDonald’s Lebanon confirmed to 961 News that there were no damages or injuries to report.
