I have been informed that there is a voice-note circulating on WhatsApp about the explosion attempting to spook people and make them afraid. Nothing happened but @LebISF should follow-up on this and find the person behind this freak show.

Reports of IDF jets over south Lebanon, violating Lebanon's airspace. The sky is clear tonight.

Initial report by: @abouissa0

Today, a ship is sailing from the United Kingdom to Lebanon with a hundred armored patrol vehicles (Land Rover RWMIK), a gift from the British government to the Lebanese Army, valued at 1.5 million pounds.

Note: The vehicles can't withstand a RPG round. Useless in combat.

Scarp RPGs, they can't even withstand bullets.

UK army just offloading old stock and using it as leverage in third world weak armies.

Yes they can be repainted that's obvious, but not my point.

I'm talking about this from an export point of view and how UK and USA invested in observation towers in the eastern border but non in the southern.

As @⁠HusseinS2004 just noticed, the driving seat is on the right.

In Lebanon it is on the left.

I wonder how many accidents we will record.

News about Iraq was deleted. Apologies.

Iraqi media mistook an ISIS attack with IEDs against electricity and communication towers as an airstrike.

Al-Akhbar: Attorney General, Judge Ghassan Oweidat, received direct correspondence from higher authorities in the EU and Switzerland to provide judicial assistance in an ongoing investigation into a transfer of 400 million by the governor of Banque du Liban, Riad Salameh.

The Lebanese Minister of Health filed a complaint before the Public Prosecution Office of Discrimination against the directors of Qana, Hasbaya, Qabrishmoun and Dahr al-Basheq hospitals for their apparent delays and failure to equip special departments for COVID-19 patients.

One of these hospitals is now treating COVID-19 patients.

Last week Iran's top general Bagheri said IR will resume naval patrol in Red Sea "after a series of limited actions" against its trade vessels.

Now it's reported that as many as 7 tankers carrying Iran's oil to Syria had been intercepted in the Red Sea

An hour ago it was reported that IDF naval forces have increased (just confirmed they are in the Red Sea) their naval presence, including the Sheyetet 13 units.

Mystery solved I guess.

The Ministry of Health: 61 deaths and 4,359 new coronavirus cases in Lebanon.

22,912 PCR tests were done.

After Israel vaccinated fully 5% of its population with the Pfizer vaccine, they delivered recently only 5,000 doses (enough for 2,500 ) of the Russian vaccine to the Palestinian authority.

Palestinians in Israel and Gaza, under the Israeli occupation, are up to 5 million.

Everyone yesterday was freaking out after Iran arrested a US-Iranain businessman asking them to free him directly.

Well now USA arrested an Iranain researcher. Will we hear the same and will a similar campaign be done, dear hypocrites?

I do condemn the arrests being made by Iran for one simple reason, no transparency means no proof of actual guilt. A mistake is a mistake

Will others, I mean hypocrites posing as independent, have the courage to condemn the US actions? Hell no

USA did the same to many Lebanese.
