The Lebanese army said, in a communiqué on Thursday, that a truck loaded with munitions overturned last night on the Kahaleh freeway and a clash between the vehicle’s escort and the locals followed, during which two had been killed. “An army unit rushed to the scene and worked on containing the clash. The truckload has been transferred to a military post. Investigations kicked off under the supervision of the competent judicial authority,” the communiqué read. It added that at dawn, the army managed to remove the truck and reopen the road in both directions.
