Currently out of internet service, there seems to be a problem at the internet distributer.

I won't be able to update news until I have access again.
Earlier at dawn, 2 x 122 mm rockets were fired from south Lebanon into occupied Palestine.

One was intercepted while the other impacted. No faction or Hezbullah took credit, but it is likely related to the Israeli aggression on Syria hours earlier.
⋯ Was this Hezbullah preparing to create a new deterrence equation?

Attack Syria and rockets will be fired? Attack Jerusalem and the Palestinian factions will respond from Lebanon? And many more questions.

What is clear is that IDF is in awe at who was shooting today and the 3 times earlier. IDF is still refusing to accuse Hezbullah, while Israeli media is accusing Hamas.

IDF's weak responses are but proof of the strength of the deterrence equation.

With the scandal of Israeli spyware “Pegasus” by “NSO” sold to Arab dictatorships, it was revealed that Saudi Arabia used it against Lebanese officials and Hezbullah.

Saudi Arabia spied on the Lebanese president, prime minister, central bank governor, head of Hezbullah liaison, Hezbullah MPs, Gebran Bassil, and Samir Geagea.

They also targeted the head of the General Security, Brig. ⁠Gen. Abbas Ibrahim, and Lebanon's ambassador to France.
Let this be a reminder to everyone in Hezbullah or IRGC that Israel has access to every smartphone it wants.
IDF UAV presence over Beirut for the second day in a row.

This is part of the constant Israeli violation of Lebanon's sovereignty.
🚨 Intense artillery shelling from the Zionist enemy's outposts in the occupied Golan targeting the occupied forests in the Shebaa Farms, accompanied by combing ops using machine guns. Can be heard in south Lebanon.

This is likely a show of force or drill.

IDF attack on Aleppo:

Funeral of the two Syrian soldiers, from Nubl and Zahara, who were murdered in the Israeli aggression yesterday.
⋯ Israeli chief of staff Kohavi:

"We will not allow the repetition of [today's] attack [from Lebanon], which took place by firing rockets at the northern settlements. We will respond and attack back, openly or covertly, after every breach that occurs from the Lebanese territory."
Israeli political and military leadership will meet tonight to decide whether the morning's response to the rocket fire from Lebanon is enough, or more attacks are needed.
Hebrew media: Estimates of the occupation’s security services indicate that the rocket fire last night from Lebanon was with the approval of Hezbullah, and if the rocket fire continues, the Israeli response will expand to reach Lebanese cities.
IDF attack on Aleppo:

According to @‌‌‎SAMSyria0, there is no damage in Al-Safira area that contains the Syrian defense factories and warehouses in the countryside of Aleppo.

IDF UAV presence over Beirut for the second day in a row. This is part of the constant Israeli violation of Lebanon's sovereignty.
Lebanese Army: On 20/7/2021 at 16:30, an Israeli enemy UAV plane violated the Lebanese airspace over the town of Naqoura, and carried out circular flights over the southern regions, then left the airspace at 17:25 from over the town of Kafr Shuba.

Yet again, the army didn't cover accurately all the violations.
The White House:

- Biden extends the national emergency with respect to Lebanon due to continuing activities that threaten national security.

- Iran's activities such as transferring advanced weapons to Hezbollah pose an extraordinary threat to US national security.

- Iran's provision of increasingly advanced weapons to Hezbollah leads to political and economic instability in the region.
Talks for new Prime Minister:

One of the proposed names for prime minister is ex-PM billionaire Najib Mikati. He is known as the thief of the "Governmental Housing Fund": he and his whole family benefited from the zero-interest loans, effectively bankrupting the governmental project that was aimed at helping youth.
⋯ Another name being proposed is Nawaf Salam. FPM tries to promote him now. His name always get proposed but ends up discarded.
