A troubling video emerged online, showing young, masked men burning banners that declared “Lebanon Does Not Want War” along the airport road.
This act sparked outrage, especially given the country’s sensitive situation, with tensions rising in southern Lebanon and along the borders.
The identities of these individuals who threw Molotov cocktails at the banners remain unknown, yet their actions have ignited a heated debate on social media.
Online commentary overwhelmingly emphasizes Lebanon’s desire for peace and underscores the importance of steering clear of war.
The “Lebanon Does Not Want War” campaign originated following clashes in southern Lebanon, gaining momentum initially on social media before transitioning to billboards across Beirut.
Championed by various politicians, artists, and journalists, the campaign aims to shield Lebanon from the ravages of war.
Organized by a coalition of Lebanese youth and businessmen, with support from the director of an advertising company in the Arab Gulf, this initiative reflects the collective determination to pursue peace and stability in Lebanon.
