Several people across Lebanon in 2002 attempted to rob banks in order to get hold of their own savings, as the country’s economy continues to nosedive.
On Friday, there were at least five bank robberies. One person entered the building armed with a hunting rifle, spurred on by restrictions on the amount customers are able to withdraw from banks since 2019.

In the past 48 hours, at least seven other banks were robbed.
One customer carrying what appeared to be a weapon managed to take $19,000 from his own account.
After the robbery, he gave the money to this accomplice, who the local press claimed was his son, before turning himself into the police.
