Lebanese demonstrators blocked several roads throughout the country on Tuesday evening in protest at what they called a “siege” on the eastern town of Ersal near the border with Syria. The road to Ersal was blocked by residents of the town of Labwe who erected sand barriers this weekend, a security source said, cutting it off from other parts of Lebanon. The blockade followed days of rocket attacks on Labwe which were claimed by jihadist groups occupying areas on the outskirts of Ersal and inside Syria. The town also hosts tens of thousands of refugees. read more
