STORYLINE:
Hundreds of protesters who took to the streets in support of Gaza, clashed with Lebanese security forces Wednesday in a suburb of Beirut near the United States Embassy.
Riot police lobbed dozens of teargas canisters and fired water canons to disperse the protesters in the intense standoff.
Several protesters were wounded.
Meanwhile, in another suburb south of Beirut, Hezbollah organized a rally in support of the Palestinians and to slam the U.S. for its ongoing support of Israel.
Hezbollah and Israeli troops continue to clash in a handful of towns along the Lebanon-Israel border.
The war that began Oct. 7, when Hamas militants stormed from the blockaded Gaza Strip into nearby Israeli towns, killing hundreds and abducting others, has become the deadliest of five Gaza wars for both sides.
The Gaza Health Ministry said 2,778 Palestinians have been killed and 9,700 wounded. Another 1,200 people across Gaza are believed to be buried under the rubble, alive or dead. More than 1,400 Israelis have been killed, and at least 199 others, including children, were captured by Hamas and taken into Gaza, according to Israel.
