Lebanon recorded today a record 3,507 new COVID-19 cases and 12 new deaths.

Happy New Year to all.

Hopefully it's a better year that carries peace and prosperity for all and the end of oppression and injustice.

On this day in 1981, Lebanon was about to face one of its biggest massacres in its history ever.

Trucks filled with tons of explosives with one goal: Kill the Palestinian leadership and thousands of Palestinians and Lebanese in a stadium.

President Aoun signed the decrees to promote officers in the military, with the exception of promotion from the rank of colonel to brigadier general.

This is due to the fact that the latter will promote more Muslims than christians, knowing that Lebanon isn't 50/50.

The Syrian embassy in Lebanon provided financial aid to the refugees affected by the criminal fire in Bahnin-Minya camp a few days ago.

Israel decided to start a low-profile outreach to Turkey in order to determine whether Erdogan's statements on normalizing relations are sincere.

Secretary-General of the Islamic Jihad Movement, Commander Ziad Nakhaleh:

"Long-range missiles with a range of over 100 km were tested in hard corner maneuver."

Ziyad al-Nakhalah:

"All the classical weapons arrived via Hajj Qassem Suleimani, Hezbollah and Syria."

Al-Nakhalah: Hajj Qassem personally supervised and managed the passage of missiles and visited more than one country to convince them to do so.

Al-Nakhalah: The martyr Soleimani visited Sudan personally and ran a clear agreement to be a station to transport weapons to Gaza.

Al-Nakhalah: Hajj Qassem is the leader who knows no limits to miracles and says there is no impossible and we must work.

Al-Nakhalah: Mortars, RPGs and all kinds of IEDs are being manufactured in the Gaza Strip today.

Al-Nakhalah: Hajj Qassem even took care of the brothers' [Palestinian] food in training sessions and used to eat with them on private visits.

Al-Nakhalah: In my life, I have never seen a leader who cares about even the smallest details.

Al-Nakhalah: Hajj Qassem visited the late Dr. Ramadan Shallah while he was in a coma at least 4 or 5 times.

Al-Nakhalah: Hajj Qassem used to spend more than an hour reading the Qur’an beside the head of Dr. Ramadan Shalah while he was absent from consciousness.

Al-Nakhala: Hajj Qassem hosted us in his home with his family in Iran and I testify that his house is very modest.

Al-Nakhalah: Hajj Qassem was hanging the shirt of Al-Hajj Imad Moghnieh which he was killed in.

Not at all, they are simply taking it out of harm's way incase they plan an attack on Iran. It's a sitting duck in the Persian/Arabian gulf.
