Lebanese people celebrate Iranian fuel delivery by firing rocket launchers

As Lebanon continues to face a debilitating fuel crisis, Hezbollah organised the delivery of Iranian fuel, sent via Syria, which arrived in the country on September 16. People in the streets celebrated the arrival of the convoy of fuel tankers by shooting guns and even rocket launchers into the air. The scene shocked many Lebanese, whose memories of the devastating port explosion in August 2020 are still fresh, as our Observer explains.
