🗓 18th anniversary of Rafic Hariri's assassination

Saad Hariri held a ceremony at the memorial of his father in Martyrs' Square, as did caretaker-Prime Minister Mikati yesterday.

Former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri was killed in a car bomb on 14 ⁠Feb 2005. The crime sparked the Cedar Revolution, forcing the Syrian army out. It transformed politics into 8-March vs 14-March camps—who basically accuse either Israel or Syria for plotting the murder.

On 18 Aug 2020, after 15 years of proceedings, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) cleared Hezbullah (“no evidence that the Hezbollah leadership had any involvement”); on Hezbullah-linked suspects, it acquitted Oneissi, Sabra and Merhi, and condemned Ayyash over complex mobile geolocation data. After prosecutors appealed, the STL condemned Oneissi and Merhi in June 2022. The trial is still active.

Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Caesarea Massacre carried out by Zionist militias in the Palestinian village of Caesarea, located a few kilometers to the south of Haifa, in 1948.

The Caesarea Massacre took place on February 15, 1948, with armed Zionist gangs raiding the village, demolishing its homes and forcibly displacing its residents, who numbered about 1,350 people at the time. Those who refused to leave were gunned down.

Caesarea was reportedly the first village in which an organized campaign aimed at expelling its Palestinian population was carried out by the Haganah, the main Zionist paramilitary organization pre-1948.
