Lebanese security forces prepared for more violence on Sunday after a night of protests over the country’s worsening financial situation gripped Lebanon’s capital. Demonstrators used rocks and other projectiles early Sunday while security forces responded by firing tear gas canisters and water cannons, before turning to rubber bullets. Earlier Sunday, security forces reinforced the metal barriers surrounding the Parliament building in central Beirut, after the worst night of violence since protests erupted several months ago. Lebanon's Internal Security Forces said 142 of its members were injured, some with serious concussions. Lebanon's military made a show of force on Sunday, heavily deploying in downtown Beirut and patrolling ahead of the rallies.
