Fire breaks out at Beirut airport as passenger protests deportation by burning sofa

A fire broke out Sunday at Beirut's Rafic Hariri International Airport in the General Security’s deportation office, located on the western side of the departure area.

The fire was reportedly set by a passenger who burned a sofa in protest against his deportation decision. He had been referred to the deportation office upon arrival due to violating regulations, including smoking on the flight.

The fire was quickly extinguished.
