The attack outside the U.S. Embassy in Beirut reflects ongoing tensions in Lebanon, marked by fighting between Hezbollah militants and Israeli troops, political deadlock, and economic difficulties.
Lebanese soldiers shot and wounded a Syrian national assailant at the embassy, whose motives remain unclear. Media photos suggest a possible link to the 'Islamic State.'
The U.S. Embassy confirmed no casualties among their staff during the attack, with Lebanese troops and security responding swiftly. Lebanese Prime Minister Mikati noted stable conditions post-incident.
