Outraged depositors, at least two of them armed, have stormed three commercial banks across Lebanon amid a wave of hold-ups triggered by a national financial meltdown.
On Tuesday morning, a Lebanese man armed with a pistol and a grenade entered the Chtaura branch of BLC Bank, demanding access to his $24,000 in savings, according to Depositors’ Outcry, a group campaigning for angry depositors.
