The Inspection of passengers at the Rafik Hariri International Airport in Beirut was briefly disrupted after a scuffle between members of the ISF and the airport police, media reports said on Wednesday.

They said a dispute erupted between members of the ISF and the Lebanese Army.

Activity resumed normalcy shortly after.

It is not a first for Lebanon’s airport to witness disruption, as conflict between political parties seems to take its toll on the country's only commercial airport.

It is not a first for Lebanon’s only commercial airport to witness disruption. For over five years, the terminal has reportedly been working well above capacity.

Early in September, an outage of the luggage and registration processing system stranded thousands of passengers who sat for hours waiting in crowded halls at the terminal.

Obviously someone in uniform was trying to have relatives, friends or someone who'd paid them off go through the lines without waiting or getting checked and the officer in charge took offence either on principle or for not getting a cut.
