Lebanese soldiers have shot and captured a man who fired at the US embassy in Beirut. Video footage shows the man in civilian clothing holding a rifle as he opens fire on the embassy moments before a military vehicle drives past. The gunman then retreated behind residential buildings as onlookers filmed the incident. Lebanese army soldiers deployed in the area responded with gunfire, wounding the shooter. The man was arrested and transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The shooting took place on Wednesday, with the Lebanese army confirming its staff were all safe. rThe attack came after Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israel was ‘prepared for very intense action in the north’ in a visit to a border city hit by Hezbollah rockets.
