I seriously wonder how silly the IDF statement will be, probably going to be like: "We confiscated a drone by the terrorist Shia group Hezbullah that breached the sovereign sky of Israel and was threatening the lives of the civilians." https://t.co/VVAQgCWTYc
Lebanon reported today 84 new COVID-19 cases, including 65 local ones.

5717 tests were done, with a positivity rate of 1.5%. The health minister @Hamad_hassan20 is expected to provide extra guidelines tomorrow as this week's numbers set a new record. https://t.co/Udsgt6XBzi
And as expected, the IDF was going to lie and claim the drone penetrated and crossed the border into Israel when it was tens of meters away as shown in the pictures.

You have the drone now, do show us the video how it entered into Israel before taking it down! https://t.co/Z1JTzKac65

A large fire is ongoing in Sidon city between the gas filling factory and the waste management factory. https://t.co/W9yjS5ntkp
More pictures from the scene. https://t.co/Eiw5f2K5mC
Some of the comments on this reminded me to repost this sentence.

It's high time israelis learn that the south isn't a ghost province and Hezbullah isn't alien to it. Hezbullah was born from those who lived there and suffered from your 22 years of occupation and massacres. https://t.co/Ko5UyITDgq
People visit the border and live near the border. People have all the right to do any activity there. The orchestra was merely one of the activities that are usually done there in the anniversaries and it's not the first time.

Hezbullah is from the people and not alien to them.
The weather was nice there today :) https://t.co/bIP9sEke3h
A thread of the controversial Bisri Dam and its positive impact on 1.6 million residents in Beirut.

The project is being portrayed in a negative manner by some political parties and ecological activists. https://t.co/Svz93pLMwj
I've seen a lot of people rejoicing about what the UAE today, but I seriously do not understand what the fuss is about? The UAE didn't design the rocket that took the payload to space (It's Japanese) and the payload itself was created by the help of hundreds of US engineers. https://t.co/OA5PMKCTRV
UAE was not the first Arab country to start and have an active space program, it was Lebanon.

The Rocket Society which was led by Manoug Manougian consisted of a small group of students from the Haigazian University. It stopped due to political issues and foreign pressure. https://t.co/niGphRjQPf
They developed into the wider Lebanese space program and produced the first rockets of the Arab World, which were capable of suborbital flight

In 1963, a Cedar IV rocket was launched and reached a 140 km altitude, putting it close to the altitude of satellites in Low Earth Orbit https://t.co/CdbBmOuKii
A protest is ongoing at the entrance of the AUB medical center in support to the 800+ employees that were unjustly laid off in this harsh economical situation. https://t.co/xOSZLJkBeI

🇱🇧 In the recent alarming update on the situation of COVID-19 in Lebanon, several clusters have been reported connected to returnees who tested negative on their initial test and then after several days, they tested positive. One of the cases tested negative in the USA and here.
And then after days of mixing with people, she showed signs and got tested again, resulting in a positive.

A similar incident happened in Saint George hospital where a patient tested twice negative, but ended up infecting 3 from the medical staff. He tested positive on the third test. @COVID19Up
