After several days of “Thank you Iran” images spreading along the road to Rafic Hariri International Airport and sparking internal reactions, a lens from Al-Nahar captured the appearance of new images bearing the title “Lebanon First” along the same road.
Other banners also appeared reading: “Lebanon unites us.”
Interior Minister Ahmad Hajjar had announced on Thursday, ahead of the Cabinet session at Baabda Palace, that he had issued instructions to remove the previous images.
