The army sealed off the area around parliament in Beirut after demonstrations by Sunni protesters. President Suleiman has asked Hezbollah to send its fighters home from Syria, and complained to the United Nations and the Arab League of violations of Lebanese territory by Syrian factions as well as by Israel. A rocket launched from northeast of Beirut hit a high-voltage power line in Alley, causing several power outages. Army experts disabled a second rocket after finding two launch pads in the Mount Lebanon town of Ballouneh.
