Definition: In this task, a passage will be given and the goal is to identify an event from the passage. An event is defined as a single word representing something that happened, is happening, or may happen. An event can be factual or hypothetical, positive or negative, certain or uncertain. While most events are based on verbs, an event can also be based on a noun (ex. storm, snow, rainfall) or a copula verb (is, was, been, etc.). The event must not be a pronoun or an adjective. For noun events with multiple words, use the last word in the phrase as event.
Input: Passage: The Lebanese army intervened to break up clashes in Beirut on Monday evening between government supporters and protestors calling for the government to resign, an AFP journalist witnessed. The clashes broke out in several Sunni Muslim-majority neighbourhoods near where tens of thousands of people were holding a sit-in protest, overseen by the Shiite Hezbollah militia, to demand the resignation of the Western-backed government.
