The black market dollar exchange rate is between 18600 and 18700.

1- Shops didn't decrease prices, they are still selling at a rate of 23,000 LL

2- The decrease is related to tomorrow's premiership recommendations. A manipulated rate.

Occupied Palestine: The Shin Bet and the occupation police arrested an employee of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, because he traveled to Iran.

It's easy to sell dollars, but buying at this rate is almost impossible.

According to Al-Manar reporter, IDF suspects Hezbullah intelligence units might be dressed as sheep to scan the border and to enter briefly unmarked areas.

Thus IDF steals herds occasionally in an attempt to verify this theory, before returning them back to Lebanon through UNIFIL.

Southern Syria:

According to the Russian MoD, at dawn today, between 5:40 and 05:54, two Israeli F-16 jets, without entering the airspace of the Syrian Arab Republic, fired two missiles from the south-west direction at targets in the Sayeda Zainab area. Both were intercepted.

I can't tell if what the Russian MoD stated is true. Why would two F-16s fire two rockets when they can carry many more? If the 2nd was there for accompanying the first, why not fire the two missiles from one jet?

Hezbullah's Ridwan units' threat to Israel is so great that the Galilee Division is not enough to confront it. Avshalom Dadon, who leads the 603 ⁠rd Engineering Brigade, commented sarcastically on the security measures on the border: "a fence and an old alert system".

The Israeli National Security Institute (INSS) issued a report to the Israeli government on how to deal with the economic crisis in Lebanon:

⬥ Urge Israel’s Western partners, USA and France, as well as its new friends in the Gulf, to provide immediate and targeted aid to the Lebanese people by requiring close oversight of the delivery, in order to prevent it from reaching Hezbullah's supporters.

⬥ Strengthen the Lebanese army, without giving it weapons that would pose a threat to Israel's security, since the Lebanese army has proven so far that it is the only entity capable of maintaining internal order.

⬥ On the military level, in addition to preparing for the possibility of a confrontation, examine whether the crisis in Lebanon provides Israel with the opportunity to target Hezbollah's capabilities seriously.
