Lebanon's former Prime Minister Saad Hariri took to Twitter to share his thoughts about Thursday's shooting at a protest in Beirut.He said that the latest episodes of violence remind him of a civil war his country once went through. "What happened today, the scenes of shooting, shelling and the spread of militants reminded us of the hateful images of the civil war, which are rejected by all standards and condemned in the strongest possible way," Hariri wrote. He has also called on the army to do their best to protect civilians. "We call on the army and security forces to take maximum measures to prevent all forms of shooting, arrest armed people, protect civilians, prevent attacks on them, protect public and private property and maintain civil peace."At least six people were killed and several more were wounded when unknown gunmen opened fire at a group of people heading to the Justice Palace to protest against the judge who has been investigating last year's deadly Beirut port explosion. The rally was organised by supporters and allies of the Shi'ite group Hezbollah.
