Regarding "the fist" in downtown Beirut:

- A small group of protesters marched to Beit el-Wasat tonight in opposition to Saad Hariri& #39;s return to power
- Future Movement supporters held a counter-protest then filmed themselves destroying the fist

- Media across the board and protesters on the ground reported Future supporters as culprits
- Hariri& #39;s office immediately denied involvement
- ISF& #39;s intelligence branch catches four and is now "investigating" with them https://twitter.com/LebISF/status/1318959322647416842?s=19">https://twitter.com/LebISF/st...

*Enters modest hero.

Sawt Beirut International announces it will rebuild "the fist" and the news is shared with jubilation.

So far so good, the usual stuff...

Now comes the interesting part, who funds Sawt Beirut International, @SawtBeirut? None other than the benevolent Sheikh Bahaa.

So it& #39;s fair to assume Saad is innocent from tonight& #39;s accusation (also, the timing is off). https://al-akhbar.com/Media_Tv/295078 ">https://al-akhbar.com/Media_Tv/...

Baha& #39;a plan was foiled, yet he persists. The square will now have two clenched fists, both stripped of their symbolism and power. Wonder which company will use the image next to sell its products.
