BEIRUT—Six Shi'ites were shot dead in Beirut on Thursday, in an attack on supporters of Hezbollah and its ally who were gathering to demand the removal of the judge investigating the explosion that ripped through the city’s port last year.
The shooting, which took place on a front-line of Lebanon’s 1975–90 civil war and evoked scenes reminiscent of that conflict, marks the deadliest civil violence in Beirut since 2008.
