BREAKING: Banque du Liban reiterated that it will keep injecting unlimited dollars to bolster the lira value.

The decision was agreed upon during a meeting between BDL chief Riad Salameh, PM Najib Mikati & Finance Minister Youssef Khalil, the central bank said.

⋯ Unless Riad Salameh found a machine to print USD, how exactly is he planning to keep injecting USD in this failed economy?
Israeli journalist Emanuel Fabian:

“I know this incident is nearly two years old now, but finally, the military released a high-quality image of the sniper rifle used by the Hezbollah squad in the attempted attack [on 27 ⁠July 2020] in Shebaa Farms. (Still no footage).”

Comment: Odd serialization on the sniper. Neither Hezbullah nor Iran does that on any of their weapons. That's a Syrian army standard.

IDF is yet to release footage of the alleged infiltration of 3 Hezbullah fighters in broad daylight, which resulted in IDF shelling Lebanese fields and a ⁠house along the border. Hezbullah was due to retaliate for its fighter Ali Mohsen (martyred 7 ⁠days earlier) but has not retaliated.

Beirut on this day in 1980:

Ayatollah Sayyed Hassan Shirazi, the founder of the seminary in Syria, was assassinated while heading to give condolences after the murder of Sayyed Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr.

Sayyed Hassan was in Lebanon and was assassinated by Saddam Hussein's Mukhabarat (secret police).

@‌‌‎aaronjmate: When the US was accused of bombing Syria's largest dam, the Pentagon dismissed the allegation as "crazy reporting."

The New York Times now reveals that they were lying: they did bomb it.

🦠 Just hours after getting the COVID-19 booster shot, NYT journalist Carlos Tejada dies of a heart attack. (Cf ⁠article & images in next post) There is also notable number of heart attacks among football players this season, notably this week alone: Algerian…
5-fold increase in sudden cardiac and unexplained deaths among FIFA athletes in 2021.

As a first approximation, “according to Wikipedia's ‘List of association footballers who died while playing’, in 2001-2020, there was an average of 4.2 deaths per year attributed to SCD (sudden cardiac death) or SUD (sudden unexplained death), the vast majority being SCD. In contrast, in 2021, there were 21 cases of SCD/SUD among FIFA players”, America's Frontline Doctors, a right-wing organization, wrote on November ⁠18 and later updated.

It must be noted, according to a December 2020 study, that, every year, more than a hundred SCD/SUD occur globally in football – 95.8% of which concern recreational football, per another study in Turkey.

Note: In its fact-checking, Reuters published a smear article on December ⁠23.
