The U.S. approves 1 billion USD aid to replenish the Israeli Iron Dome batteries.

1 billion will roughly allow Israel to aquire at least 10,000 Tamir interceptors.

Although the Israeli Knesset goes into recess tomorrow, the Israeli lawmakers ensured to stay up late and work on a law that bans Palestinian families' reunification (between West Bank, 1948 lands, and Gaza).

This law affecting tens of thousands has just PASSED.

Lebanese Minister of Information George Kordahi resigned few months ago due to an old interview where he calls the Saudi war on Yemen "Futile".

Lebanon's new minister of Information Ziad Makary has much harsher opinions about Saudi Arabia. How will this end? twitter.com/ZiadMakary/st…

Saudi Arabia: An alleged drone strike was carried against Riyadh's oil refinery. Damage was caused according to Saudi Arabia ministry of Energy.

Update: Information Branch in ISF arrested an individual in the Chouf district on charges of collaborating with the Israel's Mossad.

At least 2-3 dozen spies have been arrested in the past few months. Notable examples in this thread:

t.me/LebUpdate/23478

⋯ The spy, Wissam Hassan Hamzeh, said that a Mossad agent (“Samir”) contacted him via email, after he applied for a job on an online website.

(Thread continues below)

⋯ On their 3rd contact, “Samir” revealed that he's a Mossad agent, and asked Wissam to work with them, giving him 15 days to think over it. Wissam agreed.

Then, “Samir” asked to buy specific hardware (phone, USB, SIM cards and a laptop) and to create a Skype account with “David”, a middleman. He also asked to get a VISA card from a specific store in Tariq Al-Jadida (Beirut) and bring it to Jordan. When Wissam reached Jordan, a taxi man was waiting at the airport (also a Mossad agent), took Wissam to a hotel and gave him some hardware, including a pair of sneakers that he was asked to wear when meeting with “Daoud”.

When Wissam met “Daoud”, he was put on a lie detector. After he passed, he was taught how to gather intel, and how to send and receive encrypted messages.

⋯ When Wissam came back to Lebanon, he was given 5 intel gathering missions in Beirut:

• The 1st mission was going back and forth between Galerie Semaan and Al-Kafaat while filming the course, and then sending it.
• The 2nd mission was the same, but between Galerie Semaan and Al-Hadath.
• The 3rd mission was taking pictures in ABC Ashrafieh Mall and of its surroundings.
• The 4th and 5th were for taking pictures of restaurants in Dahyeh.

⋯ Another spy, Ahmad Salem Qanatawi, contacted the Mossad through the results he found on Google.

⋯ It wasn't long until he was asked to send his information via email. He was called by “Amir” (who had a Palestinian accent) and was asked to do work for them.

Ahmad filmed different places, notably a pharmacy in Tripoli and the City Mall in Dbayeh. He was taught via video-call how to photograph professionally. After a while, “Amir” sent him from a Jordanian number an order to spy on a gas station in Dahyeh (Beirut). Ahmad was asked to photograph it and its workers, and inquire on their nationalities, names, work schedules, customers, especially priests and sheikhs, with their cars and plates. Then, another request via Whatsapp to spy in Abbasiyeh (south Lebanon), where a large piece of land is located with heavy machines and equipment. Ahmad photographed it from all angles. Then, in Al-Jiyeh, Ahmad was led to a black case with 5000$ inside, where he was asked to buy a drone with a camera to photograph places in Tripoli.

On 15/12/2021, he left for Jordan where he met “Amir”, and was taught how to gather intel.

⋯ And after he passed the lie detector test twice, he was congratulated.

“Amir” revealed to him that he was a veteran of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.

After you read the short thread of the Lebanese recruited by Mossad you will notice that Jordan is mentioned a lot.

It's because Jordan is one of Mossad's main hubs for recruiting and training spies. All with the knowledge and acceptance of the Jordanian client regime.

Lebanon is facing a shortage of wheat, that is aggravated with the war in Ukraine.

More testimonials of the arrested: The spy Farid Adeeb Al-Hasaniya, from the town of Ain Wazein in the Chouf district.

⋯ About a year and a half ago, Farid Al-Hasaniya found a page that posted job offers for business administration.

His first assignment was to purchase several phone numbers and photograph the entrances of the commercial complex Spot in Sidon. He was also tasked with inquiring about flight numbers and information from inside Beirut International Airport, gathering information about the owners of some car plate numbers, and gathering intel on a Palestinian.

Only after he was tasked with getting the details of this Palestinian, Farid knew he was working for the Mossad. He found out that the Palestinian was from a family whom Israel previously assassinated several members of. Farid told his Mossad handler that he wanted to work personally with him, to be his “black box” keeping secrets, and to be his right hand. He asked for daily communication and a meeting with his handler.

⋯ Farid was being paid through a store in the Chouf and through the Western Union.

And so, Information Branch was able to uncover then arrest the Syrian Rizq Allah Al-Tay who resides in Dora. (END)

Saudi Arabia: The government announced that it has executed SEVERAL DOZEN locals and foreigners for a variety of crimes.

These crimes are: belonging to ISIS, Al-Qaeda, or Houthis' Ansarullah, smuggling of weapons into the country, planning of attacks, collaboration with foreign intelligence services hostile to Saudi Arabia, and having adopted the ideology of Satan and of the khawarijs (terrorists).

It did so without the international media's coverage and outcry for such cases in Iran and similar countries...
