Stock Photo - 11 August 2022, Lebanon, Beirut: A man holding a smartphone shows a screen grab taken from a video of an armed depositor gesturing at employees of a local Bank in Beirut after he stormed the branch and held employees and customers as hostages. The man, who entered the bank carrying a machine gun and gasoline, demanded to be handed over part of his deposited money, which amounts to USD 209,000. Protests erupted in Lebanon in 2019 amid a financial crisis that led banks to tightened withdrawal limits on foreign currency to USD 200-300 per week, while cash withdrawals by individuals were completely halted and were limited to local currency when the coronavirus pandemic began.
