Ghobeiry municipality closed today with "red wax" a supermarket for gouging prices and hiding baby milk in their storage aiming to sell it at much higher prices soon.

What is important to mention is that he (supermarket) is an exclusive client of @Nestle who is raising prices and helping him gouge the products. This was mentioned on the phone call.

A shocking murder and then suicide happened earlier today in Lebanon.

The murderer is from the Lebanese army intellegence, and the women is likely a close acquaintance. 1/2 https://t.co/lVxH9929S2

The son of the owner of NewTv @ALJADEEDNEWS has a warrant for him in Iraq for his involvement in a corruption case.

It is related to a 34 million dollar deal between the Iraqi ministry of education and a Lebanese firmed owned by the latter called " Ard Watan".

🇮🇷-- An Iranain cargo plane with aid landed today in Lebanon.

The aid is 15 ventilators, 2000 PCR kits, 4000 N95 mask, 2000 box of surgical masks, 2000 full PPE sets, 1000 surgery robes, one ton of disinfectants, and other stuff.

The plane won't be allowed to refuel due to the American sanction.

-- Health Minister Hamad Hassan, Public Works Minister Michel Najjar, Foreign Minister Nassif Hatti and Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mohammad-Jalal Firouznia have arrived at Rafik Hariri International airport to receive a grant from the Iranian Republic on Monday.

-- A fight between security forces and locals in Zahle took place after the latter objected the housing of suspected COVID-19 cases in a hotel for quarantine.

What is remarkable about the latest Israeli attempts is that their real intentions aren't really to remove the 10k large UNIFIL force from south Lebanon but rather to increase it's duties to home searches and raiding villages without LAF consent

Why am I claiming so? Is simply because Israel actually knows the importance of some of the participants in the UNIFIL forces and their constant Intel gathering on Hezbullah on the behalf of Israel. The latest incident between Hezbullah and the Slovakian force says a lot.

Add to that, the UNIFIL's work is not as much as restricted as much as Hezbullah is simply not working in public and has no weapons on display or recognizable assets that the UNIFIL has the power/rights to confiscate or stop.

And what is ironic is that the IDF is calling the UNIFIL bounded to Hezbullah's restrictions, at the same time when the UNIFIL is unable to stop all the daily Israeli AF violation of Lebanon's airspace, maritime, and land. Imagine the hypocrisy.

What is even more hypocritical is that the IDF has been attcaking Iran that was invited by Syria, a sovereign country, from the airspace of Lebanon, a sovereign, as if it owns the airspace; killing at least 5 civilians this month only including children.

It seems that the aid of ex PM Saad Al Hariri, who is the head of the Lebanese delegation to the UN is pushing the Israeli and American narrative to change the duties of the UNIFIL forces to counter Hezbullah in South Lebanon.

This was done with no prior discussion with MOF. ARTICLE

The minimum wage, that was not enough to have basic essentials and a decent life, was 675,000 LL which at the old rate equals to 450$. With the new bank rate it decreased to 211$. However at the real rate it is equal to 168$. This is a 63% decrease.

Lebanon recorded locally only 2 new cases today, however 25 positive cases were recorded in the plane carrying Lebanese from Nigeria and 6 from the plane from Sierra Leone. No cases were recorded from the plane that came from Qatar.

A very long thread about what happened in 7 May 2008 in Lebanon. A very informative one, check it:
