A group of armed men opened fire near the US embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. The Jerusalem Post writes this, citing Arab media.

The shots were heard at 8.34am – local time – in the entrance area of the diplomatic headquarters.

“Thanks to the quick reaction of the LAF, ISF and our embassy security team, our facility and team are safe. The investigations are ongoing and we are in close contact with the police", writes the embassy on X.

One of the attackers was injured during the army's intervention.
