Thousands of Lebanese demonstrators have paralysed parts of the country, barricading roads as part of a strike aimed at toppling the government. Smoke billowed over Beirut as protesters burned tyres and flights in and out of the city were cancelled as roads to the airport were blocked. The Hezbollah-led opposition called the strike as part of its drive to dislodge the government and hold new elections.
