Protestors have shredded an American flag and clashed with security forces outside the US Embassy in Beirut. The Lebanese and Palestinian demonstrators who are mainly students, say the US is blindly supporting Israeli actions in the Middle east. About 25 people, including nine members of the security forces, have been slightly hurt in the scuffles involving 5,000 people. The injured have been hit by stones or overcome by tear gas. The scenes have become a daily ritual since Friday, when Israel began invading Palestinian cities and confined leader Yasser Arafat to a few rooms in his West Bank headquarters. The military offensive seeks to crush Palestinian militias after a wave of daily terror attacks against Israelis. Demonstrators have also taken to the streets in the capitals of Iran, Iraq, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Even in Saudi Arabia - where demonstrations are banned - there have been rare protests in support of the Palestinians. It's thought 3,000 Saudis in Jof burned US and Israeli flags in a pro-Palestinian march. The protesters threw stones at police and security forces who had arrived to disperse them.
