After Hezbollah supporters protest, Lebanese Army vows to keep peace

The Lebanese Army has vowed to uphold public order following street protests by Hezbollah supporters. The demonstrations erupted Friday evening after Lebanese and Israeli envoys met in Washington to finalize a framework for a peace deal.

Supporters of Hezbollah took to the streets of Beirut, with motorcyclists seen chanting slogans. The state news agency reported that at least one road was blocked by burning tires. The army issued a statement that, while not naming Hezbollah directly, reaffirmed its "respect for the right to peaceful freedom of expression."
