-- Regarding yesterday's incident, it seems the IDF only patched 2 out of the 3 gaps on the border. The suspected blue bags halted the work.
Today, just an hour ago, the IDF send two different robots to pick up those bags fearing they might be an IED. However although they aren't an IED, it seems Hezbullah actually left them something inside those bags.

To sum this situation up:
The government supports the price of imported wheat up to 80% and sells it to the bakeries to keep the price of 1kg of bread at 1,500 lira. (1$ at official rate)
However bakeries, all bakeries, are using this wheat to make sweets and other luxuries and selling them at their own set prices. This process led to the lack of wheat for bread and decrease of profits for them for a bag of bread.
What they want is to increase the price of the bread, yet keep using the 80% price supported wheat for their other businesses or else they will go on strike.
The head of the syndicate is a bakery owner, thus we can clearly see the conflict of interest here.

🇱🇧 Lebanon recorded today only 4 new cases. 340 tests were done yesterday due to the low request of tests that driven the ministry to ask people to come get tested even if they have normal flu or any chest / breathing related problems. @nauala
