-- Salim Sfeir to MTV: When the State returns its borrowed money, we will then have liquidity; the solution is to sell state property with money from abroad.

Mr Salim, no we don't want to sell the Lebanese government so billionaires can buy it like they did post the civil war. We prefer selling the banks and their properties and the properties of all politicians who accumulated money from abusing the system.

-- The moment IDF drones targeted the Hezbullah commanders on the borders two days ago.
-- IDF spox confirms the interruption at the border fence:

We found three locations where our security fence along the Blue Line was damaged tonight. After searches, no risk of penetration into Israel. We hold the Lebanese Government responsible for actions from its territory.
-- Hezbullah vs Israel.

As we all can notice for weeks IDF AF has been increasing its earlier activity fearing Hezbullah is taking advantage of COVID-19 quarantine to smuggle allegedly needed weapons and sophisticated technology to Lebanon. However, IDF never cared about that exact situation and for years have been attacking Hezbullah assets in Syria making sure no human losses to avoid retaliation from Hezbullah.

What happened in this week happened few times before in 2013 when they killed head of Hezbullah's technology unit Hasan Lakkis, in 2015 when they killed Samir Al Kintar, in 2016 when they killed Jihad moghnieh and his team, and in 2019 when they killed two Hezbullah fighters in Damascus. IDF tried two days ago to kill three Hezbullah commanders and failed, therefore what happened tonight was a message from Hezbullah that we are on the border and we can carry attacks too. What happened tonight was a deterrence message to Israel to stop its new aggression or the situation will escalate.
-- Map showing the three locations in which the border fence was cut. There's a wide geographical spread.

3 were in the car...3 gaps were cut on the border.
-- Hezbullah releases never seen images from it's operation against the IDF in Alma-Al Shomariya villages that were under occupation in 1987.

The images show the head of the operation Martyr Ahmad Shiab and some of the other 17 martyrs.
