Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah:

⬥ About Shwayya

- I want to address the incident that occurred in Shwayya, where some people stopped the rocket-firing truck that was returning with 11-12 non-fired rockets. Its seizure caused a lot of anger in this country. I consider myself a rational, calm person. But when I saw the video of the incident, I became very saddened.

- The accusation that we were firing from civilian areas is a lie [Hezbollah released the video]. The remaining rockets also indicate the discipline of the resistance fighters. If you count empty rocket launchers, you'll see 20 were fired, in adherence to military orders. We wanted to target a specific area in Israel void of civilians, to avoid escalation. The only way to get there was to cross through these villages.

- I don't want anyone to think that the attackers were "the people of Shwayya." They were only a handful of people, and many from Shwayya came out to protect the resistance fighters, and even to make sure four of them were safely delivered to LAF. Many local municipalities even noted this. I want to commend the members, leaders of the Druze community for their response.

Hebrew Channel 12: Mossad was recently in chaos after a foreign-based senior Mossad officer was caught red-handed stealing the cash money he was supposed to use.

The officer was forced to resign, the Channel said, adding that he stole money for a very long time, with amounts totaling tens of thousands of euros.

Illegal outpost on Mount Sabih:

Unreported victim: Two weeks ago, on 27 July 2021, the Palestinian man Shadi Shurafa, 41, was shot dead by Israeli forces in the town of Beita (West Bank), while he was fixing the main water pipe of the town as a municipal technician.

He was shot, because the Israeli forces had already throttled the amount of water reaching Beita, as a form of collective punishment to the population. Beita is steadfast in protests against the settlement outpost on Mount Sabih. The martyr's body was handed over by Israel just today. His funeral happened today in Nablus.
Land grab in Silwan:

Jerusalem: The Israeli police stormed the Bir Ayoub area in Silwan, cordoned a building off, ordered the families to empty it, and destroyed it. The Palestinian-owned two-storey building belonged to Remah Odeh and his brother Ali, whose families comprise 12 members. The demolition order, due on 27 ⁠June, was first postponed by a court.

The settlement organization "Ateret Cohanim" has been seeking to replace 135 Palestinian families with Jews. Many other families in Silwan are threatened with imminent eviction.

Yesterday, the Israeli occupation army shot a girl near Nablus. A few minutes later, they posted an image of a knife claiming she pulled it out to stab them.

In reality, the IOF has a database of prepared knives’ images for such incidents, and they picked the wrong one this time...
Shortage of fuel:

⬥ The Governor of the Banque du Liban informed the Higher Defense Council that he is no longer able to open credits for fuel and support its purchase.

⬥ Minister of Energy (photo): If the fuel subsidy is lifted, the price will be unhinged and eventually unified. It will then be determined according to the exchange rate.

A thread about the recent Druze - Hezbullah issue:

The border villages in general, Sunni, Druze, Christian and Shia, all contribute to the first line of defense of Lebanon against any Israeli invasion and eventually they are part of the resistance plans.

Shwayya, that happens to be a Druze-majority village, was the perfect staging area to reach the intended Israeli target. The rocket-launching operation involved about 8 persons distributed into two groups: one was responsible for the launcher, and the other for its protection.

The group was ordered by Hezbullah to fire 20 rockets, and this is the actual number that was fired. The launcher had more rockets, but they were extra and not intended for launching.

After the operation was done, the truck left the area, unbothered by the IDF.
The IDF lied about the number of rockets fired, which eventually means they likely lied about other numbers.

The video shows 20 rockets launched, but the infographic claims 19.
The rocket-launching vehicle was detected and stopped by some local Druzes in the village, when it returned from the staging area.
