🔴An armed man who held up a bank in Lebanon on Thursday to demand his own frozen deposits back was hailed as a hero by cheering bystanders, despite threatening to kill hostages and set himself ablaze.⁠ ⁠ The man entered the Federal Bank of Lebanon in Beirut’s Hamra neighbourhood shortly before 12pm, taking at least five employees and a customer hostage, according to branch manager Hassan Halawi, who was among those being held.⁠ ⁠ Video showed the man, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans shorts wielding a firearm and screaming to be given his money.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #hostages #lebanon #police #bank #money
