Retired military personnel have begun gathering at Martyrs’ Square in Beirut to participate in protests organized by the Retired Military Personnel Association, our reporter said on Thursday.

The protests aim to block the roads leading to the Council of Ministers and its entrances, preventing it from convening to achieve “justice and fairness” for them.
