Police of Azerbaijan forced a crowd of about a hundred to leave an area near the Israeli mission in Baku where they had planned to hold a picket in support of Lebanon.

The crowd shouted angry anti-Israel slogans, demanding that Tel Aviv withdraw troops from Lebanon. About 25 protesters were detained as they tried to get nearer to the embassy cordoned off by the police.

Rallies in support of Lebanon were held in many Muslim states across the globe in the past weeks, Interfax reports.
