• The supposed source exists in the first paragraph only. The rest of the article is void of related info.

• In colloquial Lebanese Arabic, a “cup of coffee” is an infamous threat of physical harm – a serious thing to claim. Hezbollah do not meet journalists anonymously. Any interview with a non-identifiable official is a fake article, like the one below by Majzoub.

🚨 Saudi Arabia has started a financial blockade on Lebanon, banning the Lebanese diaspora from sending money to Lebanon through money exchange offices such as OMT, MoneyGram, and so on.

As of now, OMT has not circulated a memo to stop handing the money sent from the Gulf to their customers. There seems to be disruption in the process, according to customers, and delays in cash money transfer from the Gulf to Lebanon.
⋯ Officially:

DHL confirmed that it was forced to return the mail it received to be sent to Lebanon back to Saudi Arabia on Saturday," explaining that "this decision comes in implementation of Saudi instructions."
President of the Farmers Association: About 55% of our total exports to the Gulf will remain in Lebanon as a result of the diplomatic crisis, and consequently the supply will rise and prices will decrease.
During the past nine years, Lebanon exported goods and commodities worth 40,016,149,000 USD, of which 3,009,107,000 USD went to Saudi Arabia.

That's about 7,52% of the total of what Lebanon exports.
