Neither Amal commanders who captured him alive, or Palestinians, nor allegedly Hezbullah know his fate since the day he was left alive alone in a house in south Lebanon.

Taxi drivers will be provided 25 x 20 L cans of gasoline monthly at a subsidized price of 100,000 LBP.

Information Int. estimates that about 30% of the citizens who queued at the stations aimed to trade in gasoline.

They created a parallel market for gasoline, the size of 2 million liter daily, with an average profit of 300,000 LBP/sale amounting to a $270 million profit.

If the voting age is lowered in the upcoming elections in 2022 to 18 y/o, the number of voters will increase by 280,000.

180,000 of them are Muslims and 100,000 are Christians, which will make the percentage of voters 64% vs 36%. A more demographic representative one.

However in light Lebanon's sectarian distribution of seats between Muslims and Christians in the parliament (50/50), the new votes will not be of any difference when distributing seats.

This would just affect the number of votes/party and give a more accurate insight.
