Jerusalem: A new episode of Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing...

Israeli occupation forces have forcibly emptied the home of the Karama family, in the neighborhood of Al-Tour (on the occupied East Jerusalem's Mount of Olives), ahead of its imminent demolition. The home owners, who are thrown out to the street, are now removing their belongings.

The annual evaluation by the Zionist National Security Institute:

"Despite all the pressures, Hezbullah will maintain its political, economic, and military status."

Hebrew media: Israeli President Herzog will arrive in Abu Dhabi on Sunday for a first-ever official visit to the UAE by an Israeli president.

"The liberation of Palestine begins with the liberation of Egypt."

The house was demolished today. The Karama family said they never received a demolition order nor an eviction order, as the Israeli soldiers suddenly surrounded their home and demolished it.

Over 280 Palestinians in Jerusalem's Al-Tour neighborhood are threatened with forced displacement and house demolition, under the pretext of illegal building. It is part of the project of the ‘American Road’, one of Israel's largest project in the city aimed to confiscate 45 ⁠dunums of Al-Tour [45,000 ⁠m²]. At the same time, the occupation authorities have been building tens of thousands of housing units for Jews since the 1980s, approving yet again on 18 ⁠January 2022 a plan for 1,465 new units in East Jerusalem.

Electricity outage in the Ministry of Energy moments before signing two agreements to draw electricity from Jordan through Syria to Lebanon.

⋯ Honest question: Back before 2019, many areas in Beirut used to get 21/24 hours of electricity while Dahyeh, Tripoli, South, and Beqaa, used to get 12/24 at max.

Will the new imported electricity be distributed fairly?

After Saad Hariri announced that he, and his party(FM) will not be a part of the next parliamentary elections, the Lebanese Forces are reportedly focusing their electoral campaign on FM supporters in order to gain their votes.

⋯ The Lebanese Forces have opened many offices in new areas to attract votes and distribute free goods.
After focusing on their main Christian base, they are focusing on the Sunni population, in order to keep some seats they gained by support from Future Movement [FM].
Those seats are now vulnerable due to FM's decision not to be part of the elections.

It would only be reasonable for Russia to retaliate for the western javelins to Ukraine by losing several thousand Kornet-E in Syria that will find their way somehow to Lebanon and Gaza.

Today: Germany will supply Ukraine with 5,000 military helmets.

Maybe trying to replace THOSE helmets?

🚨 The phone of the head of ‘Human Rights Watch’ in Lebanon was hacked by the Israeli NSO's ‘Pegasus’ spyware, while she was following up on the investigation into the 2020 Beirut port explosion.

Lama Fakih (a dual US-Lebanese citizen) was targeted 5 ⁠times between April and August 2021. She was notified by Apple in November. So far, 300 Lebanese phone numbers have been hacked, including those of President Aoun and ex-PM Hariri. Previous known targets include NYT bureau chief in Beirut Ben Hubbard, Al-Akhbar journalist Radwan Mortada and Al-Jazeera journalist Ghada Oueiss.

Undercover report of prostitution rings in Tripoli, consisting of young Lebanese and Syrian women.

According to the report, the meetings take place in a Hotel in Qalamon for a price tag of 5-10$.

If the World Bank is to finance, under a loan, electricity from Jordan and gas from Egypt, with a value that may exceed $1 billion, then why not build new plants with this amount, reduce loss, and raise tariffs?

Temporary solutions for electoral reasons = high cost. twitter.com/JawadAdra/sta…
