Martyr Samir Mattut was one of the most loyal and most outspoken leaders in the early days of the resistence in Lebanon.

He was martyred on the 6th of February 1987 during an attack on an SLA-IDF base in Lebanon.

He is the first Lebanese to ever capture an IDF soldier alive.
From the will of Martyr Samir Mattut:

By God, if my body was divided a thousand parts and more, and if my joints were split a thousand pieces and more, and if my organs were tore up by a thousand and more, that would have been easier for me than living and Israel remaining on our lands, remaining over the land of Abu Dhar al-Ghafari, the land of Jabal Amel, the land of martyrs, and above the second Muslim qiblah, in Jerusalem.
Majority Leader in the US House of Representatives, Steny Hoyer:

"Hezbullah must be held to account for its human rights violations", it is "an unrepentant terrorist organization and a proxy of Iran" that "prevents peace and democracy" in Lebanon.

He implied the murder of Lokman Slim, adding that "Lebanon deserves a future of peace and freedom."

International criminal court judges decide the ICC prosecutor has jurisdiction to open an investigation against Israel for war crimes in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
🇮🇱 Netanyahu: The ICC proved again it's a political and not a legal body. The ICC disregards real war crimes & persecuting Israel, a democracy who is not a member of the court. We will continue defending our citizens and soldiers from legal persecution.

🇺🇸 @StateDeptSPOX: We are reviewing the ICC decision on Palestine and we have concerns about the ICC taking steps against Israeli personnel.
US President Biden just removed Yemen's Ansarallah from the FTO list, as per multiple White House sources & Congressman Chris Murphy.

Congrats dear Yemenites.
An army force arrested two people and seized a drug factory in the Deir Al-Ahmar, Beqaa area during raids in the village.
A total of 3 drugs factories were busted and 2 Syrian workers were arrested working there.

The village is of a known political affiliation, but it would be wrong to accuse the party of it.

Beqaa is drug infested, never was about a party or another.
The polical party is the Lebanese forces, if anyone is asking.
The resignation of Muhammad al-Bizri, a member of the Nasserite Popular Organization "due to the new positioning of the organization," headed by Representative Osama Saad.
Although the phone of murdered Lokman Slim was found less than 1 km away from the house he was at that night, 40 km away from the location his body was found at, his family is refusing to hand the phone to security forces.

A phone that is crucial for investigations. https://news.1rj.ru/str/nauala/11974
The COVID-19 Management Cell in the South region in Hezbollah, provided 140 oxygen machines and 70 devices that will be delivered after two days, in addition to 250 O2 bottles and 1000 oxymeters, and 200 digital pressure machines to assist the health sectors.

More to come soon.
🏗🚧 As a result of the non-commitment of the concrete companies to the content of the agreement (reached with the Environment Committee and the Presidency of the Government six weeks ago), and consequently not signing it, the Ministry of Industry called on all those wishing to import concrete to apply for licence early next week to obtain import licenses for this material, provided that the imported material has the required specifications and standards, and at competitive prices.

This would be a blow to the monopoly of concrete in Lebanon greatly affecting the war lord Walid Joumblat and Nicole Fattoush.
Lokman Slim's phone and eyeglasses were found only 300 meters away from where he was that night.

It's currently with his family. The sister found it using Google "Find my phone".

Internal security (information branch) forces are negotiating with the family to get it.
