Now that a judge has dismissed her frivolous million-dollar lawsuit, we can expose her sham journalism and the powerful neoconservative forces that egged on her legal assault.

From the Lebanese army patrols in Tripoli, Northern Lebanon.
🚨 The Parliament passed a law to set up a ration card program, and to replace the current subsidies system. It aims to provide Lebanon’s poorest families with $93 per month (on average).
It looks similar to Syria's "Smart Card" and to a large-scale operation of Hezbullah's "Al-Sajjad Card".
Problem: What criteria will be used to define who is poor? (a majority of the Lebanese now identify so). The funding mechanism is left up to the cabinet.

IDF relaxed the time required for entering shelters after hearing sirens in the Galilee, the Golan and other areas in northern Palestine, to 15 seconds.
To put it clearly: Israelis now have to run to shelters in 15 seconds after hearing sirens of rockets coming from Lebanon. Before, Israelis had to immediately run to shelters. But now, with better radar coverage by Israel, the warning system has added a 15-second warning before impact.
For other areas, the 15-second warning increased to 30 seconds.
