Electricity of Lebanon warns of a comprehensive power cut due to the lack of fuel oil and the drop in power to less than 500 megawatts.

However after the Iraqi fuel arrived, it was supposed to add 4 more hours of electricity for a few weeks.

US House Democrats introduced a supplemental bill to provide $1 billion for Iron Dome that they plan to take up today, which includes a provision that says these funds support Operation Guardian of the Walls, which was an offensive war that killed 200+ Palestinian civilian.

⋯ The $1,000,000,000 is meant to be given as extra USA tax-payer money to Israel, a $400-billion economy, and excludes the yearly $3.9 billion and other loans.

This money will allow Israel to purchase 10,000 new interceptors at max.

🚨 A Syrian minor (8 y/o) was killed and his brother (6 y/o) was wounded in the explosion of an Israeli cluster bomb left over from the Israeli 2006 aggression in the town of Adchit - Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon.

The army did not remove its checkpoints around Dahyeh as was reported, however it is currently reducing the number of members at the checkpoints as part of new logistical measure.

A scuffle took place between a number of citizens in Al-Abda Square, Akkar, over filling gallons with gasoline to sell them in the black market, which developed into shooting and resulted in a number of injuries.

⋯ The moment the scuffles happened.

You can see, on the left, the gasoline tank showcases to be sold illegally on the black market.

⋯ This is the exact location seen in my earlier tweet from August 26. Had the security forces arrested them for illegally selling, this would have never happened.

No threat exists on this border. ISIS, Al-Qaeda, are gone since 2017. But the UK keeps building watchtowers... except on the northern border, where the actual smuggling happens, and the southern border with “Israel”.

Few important points from Hezbullah's deputy Secretary General's interview tonight:

- We are ready to transport the Iranian fuel through official border crossings, but some in the country are afraid of America and its sanctions. So we are avoiding this problem.

- Fuel will continue to arrive as long as the central bank and oil companies are failing

- We ordered 4 ships from Iran, two of them arrived, the third is a gasoline ship, while the fourth is also diesel.

As for what is next, that will depend on the data we get.

- There is no objection to negotiating with the International Monetary Fund to reach a common mission, but we do not accept a ready-made deal

- The government must move and develop a rescue plan, one of the goals of which is to ease the burdens on the people

- We support carrying the parliamentary elections on time.

- For 8 months now, Hezbullah have prepared its election plans, names and all details. We have a structure and we are working; ready for the upcoming elections
