⋯ Recruitment is done by sheikhs at mosques.

Back in 2011-2013, sheikhs used to stop young men after prayers and talk to them about heaven and jihad and how Syrians need help to fight against an evil ruler. Many got persuaded and dragged into the war.

Little is spoken about the anti-Assad Lebanese militants that were recruited to fight against the Syrian army.

Recruitment slowed down in 2014-2016.

⋯ I remember when I was at Imam Ali mosque in Tariq Al-Jadideh in 2012 on a Friday.

I still remember how as the only Shia there it was very awkward when the imam, during his speech, stated: “May God curse the Rawafid (Shia), may God curse Hezbullah, may God curse Bashar.”

The fire is still ongoing after it was reignited at dawn, and is expected to expand towards the electricity poles and nearby homes.

⋯ More footage from the area.

In protest against the living conditions, taxi drivers blocked the entrances to Hamra.

Hussein Kaouk – who was appraised by some Lebanese media and opposition figures for a sketch with anti-Hezbullah rhetoric and Shia stereotyping – got his upcoming comedy episode scrapped by Lebanese media Al-Jadeed for mentioning the UAE negatively.

UAE and KSA fund many Lebanese media outlets.

🚨 Israeli spy plane, which are usually tracked through open-source websites by @‌‌‎Intel_sky and @‌‌‎SAMSyria0, are seen on the border with Lebanon over Naqoura.

Usually they fly over central Palestine, not this close to the north.

⋯ This is becoming pathetic and embarrassing.

Not only are foreign ambassadors almost permanent members of our MoD and army, the Lebanese army is shifting all its focus, that's not police work, to the border with Syria, smuggling.

⋯ The main dilemma is that there are NO more ISIS and Al-Qaeda cells on the Lebanese-Syrian borders.

The army's whole drills and preparations, through Western funding, is focusing on non-existing threats while not preparing the army's infrastructure in south Lebanon against Israel.

📈 Internet and telecommunication prices are expected to be increased soon to a rate of 3,900 LBP instead of 1,500 LBP. This includes mobile phone plans.

It would be smart to benefit from the prices now and recharge for a year ahead.

Syria and Jordan announce the reopening of the joint Syrian-Jordanian free zone and the resumption of commercial & economic activities as of today 1-December-2021.

Palestinian freedom fighter Hesham Abu Hawwash has been on hunger strike for 107 days in protest of his indefinite detention without charge or trial, under the so-called administrative detention policy, by the Israeli occupation authorities.

Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns the Yemeni attack on Saudi Arabia.

The ministry didn't condemn the Saudi attacks on Yemen, that has been ongoing for two full weeks with hundreds of precision airstrikes, because Yemenese are kuffar, not Arab, and probably our enemy. twitter.com/Mofalebanon/s…

Between 2019 to 2021, more than 960 NGOs were registered in Lebanon, which raises the number of legal NGOs to 10,000. (By: @‌‌‎JawadAdra)

There are a couple thousand others that are not registered. None pay taxes despite the large income and flow of money.
