The outgoing deputy commander of the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon has been injured after protesters attacked a convoy near Beirut airport. Demonstrators were protesting the decision to revoke permission for an Iranian passenger plane to fly to Beirut. The decision to ban the plane came after Israel claimed that Iran was smuggling cash to Hezbollah via civilian flights.
