Khaldeh ambush:

Arrest of Youssef Ghosn (born in 2001) at Beirut airport while returning from Turkey.

He is wanted for his participation in the ambush. He fled to Turkey immediately after the events, before an arrest warrant was issued against him.

The Tleil explosion's massacre is under reported. Until now, I can't find the list of all victims and their images.

Not enough local TV coverage, no political support to the families, no NGO presence there. They are left alone. With everyday passing, a new death is being reported.

Lebanon 24:

Allegedly, NASA communicated with the municipality of Hermel and informed them of the presence of radioactive materials in one of the properties, which later turned out to be a meteorite buried inside the ground.

The municipality of Hermel hastened to search for the meteorite in the property No. 2604, which caused a problem with the property owners, after it was discovered that the price of a gram of buried materials is equal to 4,000-8,000 USD.

Lebanese army intelligence officer Ahmad Murad, nicknamed Abu Ziad, was assassinated tonight in Tripoli.

By: @‌‌‎abedgsayed

Israeli occupation Army Spokesperson: During a physical training activity last night, one of the soldiers collapsed, and is currently in a critical situation.

This is the 3rd similar case of sudden collapse during physical training this year. Two resulted in death.

In a recent interview with Asas media, US State Department official who ended his term as Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David Schenker, discussed several internal Lebanese political affairs in an obvious disrespect to Lebanon's sovereignity.

Schenker describes to Assas Nasrallah's announcement of bringing in Iranian oil as an "unbelievable story" and a "political maneuver" carried out by Hezbollah and its Secretary General to avoid the wrath of public opinion, blaming Hezbullah for being behind the fuel crisis. (1/)

Regarding the repercussions of this step, Schenker stresses that it "is a clear violation of the sanctions imposed on Iran, but the American reaction remains in the hands of the administration of President Joe Biden, and this matter in itself is a challenge."

He adds that Hezbullah's fuel stunt is an attempt to earn money, win populist points, and avoid the wrath of its people who became angry at Hezbullah, which allegedly became evident when locals in Beqaa attacked Hezbullah's MP Haj Hasan. (2/)

He then continues to accuse Hezbullah of being the main obstructer for forming a government in Lebanon.

And adds: "The most prominent challenge facing Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati lies in confronting Hezbollah with a clear position by refusing to receive Iranian oil."

He also considered that the obstacles facing Mikati are not limited to Hezbollah only: "There are the demands by Aoun and Bassil to obtain the blocking third, and if Mikati does not implement this demand, all possibilities are open." (3/)

In conclusion, Schenker revealed to "ASAS" that he had heard some names proposed for ministers in the supposed Mikati government. He described some of them as good names, and some of them as bad.
