Clashes erupted Thursday night between government supporters and the opposition in several Beirut districts, KUNA, the Kuwait News Agency, reported. One person was injured in a shooting.

The Lebanese government took security measures aimed at cutting back on media provocation and removing political photos, flags and posters from the streets. The army pulled its troops from headquarters of parties supporting the government.

Meanwhile, as the Lebanese people anticipated the formation of a national unity government, the Amal movement and Hezbollah expressed eagerness to hold direct talks with different groups to address pending issues, KUNA said.
