⋯ It must be underlined that the Israeli soldier is a recent immigrant from South Africa, who joined the IDF as a lone soldier (joined by choice and not compulsory service).

🇷🇺 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: "Russia has handed over to Lebanon satellite images related to the Beirut port explosion."

🇱🇧 Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdullah Bouhabib: "We have received satellite images of Beirut port and we will hand them over to the judiciary."
⋯ Note: Images will help in nothing. Lebanese officials are obsessed with asking for sattelite images as a way to say "The secret is in them" knowing well the West won't provide them with any.

Sattelite imagery can be bought online for cheap through commercial vendors. A before and after image won't help in explaining what happened in between.

The truth has already been uncovered by the FBI & Lebanese army investigation, just announce it.
🇷🇺 Lavrov: "Russian companies want to rebuild the Beirut port, but this decision is for the Lebanese to make."

🇱🇧 Bouhabib: "We are at odds with the West over the return of the displaced Syrians. We support the Russian initiative."
