The Ministry of Economy announces the reduction of the weight of the large bundle of bread from 910 grams to 870 grams, and fixing its price at 2,500 LL.

As well as reducing the weight of the medium sized bundle of bread from 430 grams to 385 grams.
As most food is now being bought at an exchange rate of 10,000 LL, bread is still subsidized but getting more expensive by the month.

This time instead of increasing the price, the weight of bread will be decreased. It's just temporary as more changes are expected soon.

On this day in the year 1985, the martyr Amer Tawfiq Kalakish detonated his vehicle loaded with about 900 kilograms of explosives in a Zionist military convoy north of the settlement of Mutla at the Lebanese-Palestinian border, killing 12 soldiers and wounding 14 others.
His name was kept secret for 15 years to protect his family from Israeli persecution as IDF was the occupying force in south Lebanon.

Regarding the cruel incident in Gaza that killed three fishermen on 7 March, Islamic Resistance Hamas announced they died after an IDF drone carrying explosives detonated in their net.

On this incident, i'm going to point out two important things:
1- The attack of two suicide drones on Dahyeh in 2019 was carried out by similar-type drones. Both were deployed from the sea and crossed into Beirut.

This one in Gaza would have been on a similar mission, fell in the sea and was never recovered.
2- IDF-deployed spy devices tend to be equipped with explosives to remotely detonate when captured.

Several have been located in south Lebanon but were detonated before capture. These incidents led to several casualties from Hezbullah or civilians:
