This morning, a group of retired military personnel took action by blocking the Batroun-Kfaraabida highway at Madfoun with burning tires to demand their living rights.
The streets are on edge as an escalation is expected alongside the Cabinet meeting scheduled for 3 PM, with calls for protests from retired military members, teachers, and public sector employees seeking their rights.
Security forces have implemented significant measures around the government headquarters, increasing their presence on roads leading to it and in Beirut.
