A large amount of subsidized medicines (drugs) were seized in an apartment, and were transferred to the Chiyah municipality building.
📈 The association of private generator owners in the northern Bekaa areas issued the following statement:

"Due to the exchange rate of the dollar, the power outages, and the difficult living conditions, we announce to our valued subscribers that starting from the first of July, we will be forced to turn off the generators due to the current conditions. We appeal to the officials in these towns to stand with us in this crisis until the situation in the country stabilizes."
Commander of IDF's ground forces, Yoel Strick - Walla newspaper:

"The real threat comes from Lebanon, not from Gaza."

"The intensity of fire against Hezbullah in Lebanon will be much greater than the intensity of fire and shelling that was launched against the Gaza Strip."
About intensity, he's correct.

Believe it or not, the firepower displayed by the IDF in Gaza can be easily multiplied by folds.

Artillery was not in full force, neither was the airforce. IDF opted for waves of attacks and targeted assassinations more than systematic destruction.

But also, the intensity of Hezbullah's firepower is unmatched compared to Gaza. Same goes to quality, quantity, and models.
Shortage of fuel:

In light of Nasrallah's speech about an Eastern country willing to rehabilitate Lebanese refineries to benefit from the Iraqi crude oil, a Russian delegation will visit Lebanon on Monday to present an offer to operate two oil refineries in Lebanon.

According to: @‌‌‎leb_now
Although Iraq is willing to provide Lebanon, for free, 1 million barrels of crude oil, Lebanon has no way to refine it forcing it to find a way to trade it with a 3rd country for gasoline.

Rehabilitating two small refineries in 6 months, will maximize profit and product.

Amos Yadlin - Israel Today:

"Hezbollah's missile program is the biggest threat to Israel. The gov't must discuss this as soon as possible, and draw up a plan to attack it, because it has approached a critical mass, even though the northern front has 15 ⁠years ⁠of calm."

"Although we are facing mutual deterrence, Israel is still afraid to operate in Lebanon. The possibility of a large-scale war is not big, but it must be taken into account. Since the 1973 war, all the wars we have fought have always been on one front."

"Today there is an axis led by Iran, who may try to bring all the components together, and we need to prepare for this most dangerous scenario."
