After the arrest warrant, Hezbollah and Amal movement supports have vowed to protest against the judge's decision but rapidly the situation has developed into uncontrollable clashes.

Since the unrest, multiple shocking videos of armed groups firing live bullets were released and went viral on social media including one that shows a man with a blackhead mask shooting during the clashes.

Additionally, videos of civilians running for their lives during clashes were shared while photos of school children seen hiding under their class chairs, with fear and panic in their eyes during gunfire attacks, have broken social media users' hearts.

More videos are still being shared as the situation in the Lebanese capital is still deteriorating. Another video was just shared showing Hezbollah members wandering through Beirut neighbourhoods warning to assassinate Judge Tariq Al-Bitar and chanting sectarian slogans, “Shia! Shia!”
