headquarters, and in several neighborhoods of the capital, expressing anger over the deal and rejecting any move toward direct negotiations with the occupying entity.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nProtesters blocked major roads in the Salim Salam area and burned tires, while similar demonstrations were reported in Msharafiyeh and Beirut&rsquo;s southern suburbs.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nSit-ins were also organized in several locations, where participants called for the cancellation of the agreement and warned against any political or diplomatic engagement with Israel.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe protests

latest military aggression against Lebanon, the occupying regime&rsquo;s forces have killed at least 3,600 people and wounded 11,000 others in the Arab country.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIn response to the attacks, the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has continued military operations against Israeli forces along the border.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThe Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
