A television broadcast in Lebanon turned into a battleground after a heated argument between journalist Tony Bowles and commentator Muhammad Yacoub, who is affiliated with Hezbollah on the program "Free Confrontation," escalated into accusations of treason, swearing, and throwing a bottle.

During the confrontation, the commentator shouted at journalist Tony Bellus: 'You are a traitor, you are a traitor.'.

Tony responded by shouting: "Iranian agent, Iranian agent," clarifying: "This is a legal matter, you're not the one who classifies who is a traitor.".

The atmosphere in the studio became heated when the journalist called Hezbollah operatives and their supporters "a bunch of criminals.".

At one point, commentator Muhammad Yaqub lost his composure and threw a bottle at Balos, rising from his chair and shouting at him, "Dog, animal.".

Production staff quickly separated the hawks when the confrontation became physical.
