Lebanon protests: Riot police intervene as Hezbollah supporters scuffle with protesters

Groups of people chanting in solidarity with the country's powerful Shi'ite Hezbollah group walked into a peaceful demonstration on Friday in Beirut briefly scuffling with protesters and prompting riot police to intervene.

Dressed in plain black t-shirts common to Shi'ite Hezbollah and Amal movement supporters, the men shouted, "We heed your call, Nasrallah," in reference to Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Nationwide protests fueled by deteriorating economic conditions have swept Lebanon since last week.
