A man opened fire this morning on the US Embassy in Lebanon, in Awkar, north of Beirut, injuring someone inside the building. Several Lebanese media outlets initially reported hearing shots.
The Lebanese army released a statement confirming the incident, stating that a person of Syrian nationality was responsible for the shooting and was “wounded” by the army as it “responded to the sources of the fire.” He was subsequently arrested and taken to hospital for treatment. The army is conducting an initial follow-up investigation to determine the circumstances of the event.
The embassy confirmed the army’s version of events and added that one person had been injured inside the embassy.

This is disgusting it has to stop
America and its dogs need to get out of the Middle East and stop warmongering all over the world.
Qatar, Egypt and Israel recently offered a ceasefire to Hamas but Hamas refused.
Nobody wants American embassies in there countries. They can not trusted
Satanic factions continue to provoke Israel and America.

US will defend our embassy eff Islamic terrorism
Yah – convenient Islamic state – which is created by izzy and usa.
Is this staged in order to bring US troops into Lebanon?
Lebano was a peaceful country back then but since this fake musilum took over everything became mess
Pro-israel militants were attacked at US embassy in bierut.
Islamic terrorist is on Beirut
The us are making enemies supporting a genocide
America supports terrorism and oppression worldwide. They then scream and wonder why when others return the favor!!!
Free Palestine❤

@@jonnyh9388 because it is under occupation since 1948 , and i think occupationis very bad thing
Free Lebanon
@@jonnyh9388 so they can become another Syria or Yemen or Sudan
Egypt Qatar, Israel and US offered Crasefire to Hamas just recently but Hamas Refused. Are you going to “Protest Now That Hamas Accept That Crasefire?”
No one want America embassy in their country, wonder why🤡🤡
Isreal stealing other people land and they think thats ok!!
Why is that? Because they are backed by the devil 😈
Why don’t u report on how Israel is bombing Lebanese villages in the south?? And how south Lebanon has been fighting for Palestine since Oct 8th ???
They do but much of the reporting is done on the Arabic channel for some reason, they had a spokes person from Hezbollah on there yesterday.
@@CFX992 yeah its weird how they just report it in the arabic channel but not in the english one
they also dont report about the yemeni front in the English chanel
what does that have to do with Gaza? no one cares about Lebanon only Gaza
They do, they have 🤦♂️
False Flag
Of course it is! Always someone else’s fault rather than followers of the peaceful religion 😂
@@jonnyh9388 what does this have to do with islam genius? u guys know nothing about middle eastern politics except ur stupid western propaganda. ur people are committing genocide johnny u have no moral grounding
ISRAEL is known for false flags. They even pay locals to cause trouble just like America did w the Northern front @@jonnyh9388
🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥Does anyone else find it interesting that you cannot spell Israel without the letters L-I-A-R-S 🤔 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😮😮😮😮😮😮😢😢
Or Hamas using the letters S-H-A-M-e?

@@friendship9904fu$k Joe Biden. Good Americans hate Joe Biden and The Warmongering Rhinos
Us making all troubles in the world
Yes you do make trouble all over the world. Everyone can see. 😂
You are right history says that .
Blame Biden, under Trump we got into no wars and was getting along with others. Democrats and Rhinos in US are Warmongers. We The People are sick of this. Elections here have been stolen, probably for decades, so let’s hope this next election is free of corruption and theft.
There are a lot of people around the world who are not happy with the US for covering up for Israel.
Good just stop providing Visa to any Middle eastern country.
Stop invading their land and taking their resources no one would wants your 😊visa
Stop invading middle east countries with weapons killing civilians for the past 20 yrs
Including israel?
@@CharlieDontSurf225 nah they never existed
@@CharlieDontSurf225 Sure
US false flag to join war
Is this the ” religion of peace ” we keep hearing about ??
yes, better then any westerner who try uphold morality when they have none
The thing is…..we never do hear about the peaceful religion. Certainly not on here.
What is the religion of Netanyahu and Biden, what is the religion of Hitler, and what is the religion of those who threw bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki???? Everyone knows that Islam does not call for violence. Your lies have fallen
Judaism?
I’ve never seen any religions of peace. At least not by any of their actions. It’s all just prejudice depending on which side of the coin you stand and which media is in your ear.
All by design to divide and conquer.
Ofcourse islam
nonono, of course it`s US inbreed uneducated illiterate westerner
whats the correlation???? U hating on islam is a bit ironic considering the jewish state and America have been committing genocide.
Why is she standing in the middle of the road 🤦♂️
So you can see everything including police or military
She is having a hard time making a decision.😂
It’s Israel’s ISIS.. they pay ISIS to attack! Definitely Mossad .. it’s obvious to attack an embassy to give Israel leverage to attack Lebanon !! Obvious!
Islami State?! If this is true, US itself or its close ‘ally’ Israel is clearly behind this violence. They’re trying to making the ground to start a war with Lebanese, more specifically with Hezbollah. To understand this, you shouldn’t have very high IQ.
Mossad did it again! They want USA involvement in the region more than Hezbollah!
Please..can we use the word ‘gunman’ ?? It is the word for a man using a gun,has been for generations. ‘shooter’ is yet another example of the trump destruction of language, that it’s ok to make up baby talk and wave your hands around because you don’t have the capacity to remember what the proper word is🤦 if Al Jazeera is going to keep it’s place as a world respected news outlet then it must be able to communicate with proper words.
btw everyone. zionists are trying to create chaos in lebanon by making syrian refugees and lebanese far right christians fight. they did this in the 80s with palestinian refugees. dont fall for zionist tricks
You can’t make Syrian Refugees and Lebanese Christians Fight Unless They Want Too. Stop blaming others for people fighting each other.
Also where are the Protest Demanding Hamas Accept the Ceasefire that They Claim They Were Waiting For. Qatar, Egypt with Israel Just Offered a Wsy to Stop This, Yet Hamas Ignored It and Did Not Respond. Yet all this time Hamas claim they waiting in a ceasefire
Do you blame Hamas for October 7 attack on the music event where they killed young people and kidnapped many?
Gee I wonder if an unthinking embrace of NuttyYahoo and a proclamation of ‘we have your back’ was wise?
yea REAL scared of these guys that are far too busy fighting themselves, one of the worst economies of the world, and filled with iranian backed terrorists, i bet usa is really regretting the alliance
Again religion of peace 😂😂😂
Religion of peace again 😂😂😂😂
WHEN…..WHEN are the muslim countries going to stand up and act decisively against THEIR PROBLEM ! !

WAKE UP ARAB/MUSLIM WORLD. THIS IS YOUR PROBLEM ! DO SOMETHING ! !
Since the US politicians decided to tie the US to Israel then they have doomed themselves to go down with it.
Just as Israel has become a pariah, so will the U.S and Germany for their complicity with it.
They did it themselves, don’t forget that ISIS is a US stooge
The lady very politely reminded that fool the armed men are Lebanese Army not terrorists wearing army uniforms like IDF. 😂😂😂
It’s not hard to get clothes that look like military uniforms
SINCE QATAR HAS NOT TASTED THE RAAY OF LAQIGHTT ,,,IS TAKIN THE ACNE ON WESTERN FACE 2 SERIOUSLY

Misdirection, IS doesn’t fight the US

Us need to stop sending weapons to support the genside and ethnic clencing of the indigenous palastens,
Get out off. Our land we don’t want murderous.
Mossad are working overtime at the moment trying to influence media coverage and sentiments & sympathies towards Israel.

US is the culprit behind the scenes all terrorist groups and war around the world, no peace exists in the world right now.
