Lebanese News and Updates
This afternoon, two settlers were killed in a shooting targeting an Israeli-owned car on the Route 60 highway in the town of Huwara, West Bank. The settlers were residents of the the Har Bracha settlement. The shooter is still at large.
The two settlers had extreme Zionist affiliations
Hillel Yaniv (22) and his brother Yagel (19) were killed in a Palestinian operation on 26 Feb.
⚔ IDF and Hamodia News said that Hillel was a staff sergeant in the Navy's 916th Patrol Boat Squadron, a unit in Ashdod that enforces the Gaza blockade; he was sent to a yeshiva in Kiryat Shmona (Lebanon's border) under the Hesder program—combining Talmudic studies with military service. The yeshiva's motto is “a book and a sword” [Safra veSaifa]. As for Yagel, he was “set to service in a combat unit”.
✡ Far-right Minister Bezalel Smotrich tweeted that the father, Rabbi Shalom Yaniv, a youth coordinator, “educated some of my children”. The Yaniv live in the settlement of Har Brakha, illegal under international law, just south of Nablus (West Bank). Founded in 1983 after confiscating the land of nearby Palestinian villages, it is a hotbed for Jewish terror group Hilltop Youth.

⋯ The dead man in the Jericho operation yesterday is Elan Ganeles (27), from the US state of Connecticut.
His family belonged to "Young Israel of West Hartford"; he attended Modern Orthodox schools. He deferred enlistment in the US military, to spend a year in Israel. That time in Israel stretched beyond a year, and he enlisted instead in the IDF. He then returned to the USA in 2018 to attend Columbia University, where he graduated in 2022. (Times of Israel)

💸 Lebanon's supermarkets partially move to dollar pricing
Starting tomorrow, 1 March, supermarkets will be required to price their dollar-supplied goods in dollars. The caretaker-minister of economy, Amin Salam, explained the decision today, as quoted by Bint Jbeil:
«The financial system of the past is over and the last rings of the structure have fallen. (...) I've resisted the issue of dollar pricing for a year and six months, but today I cannot leave [the Lebanese] dependent on chaos and randomness [after the rapid depreciation of the lira]. This measure will begin to be applied tomorrow. Our goal is to protect the citizens by knowing the real prices of goods inside the supermarket.»
Customers can pay in the currency of their choice. The dollar-to-lira exchange rate must be prominently displayed at the store entrances.

🔴24 years ago today, in 1999, #Hezbullah killed the commander of the israeli occupation terrorist forces in #Lebanon, General Erez Gerstein.
Erez was the highest ranking to be killed in #Lebanon, who was expected to be the new CoS. His death was considered a major blow, reason for israeli retreat in 2000.

🔴 Lebanon's security chief has retired, after 12 years in office
General Security chief Maj.-Gen. Abbas Ibrahim, responsible for intelligence and immigration, has left office today, after reaching the legal retirement age of 64 years.
Caretaker-Minister of Interior Bassam Mawlawi (pro-KSA) has refused to discuss an exemption to extend his term, although it can be issued if a vacuum risks instability, and Speaker Nabih Berri has refused a parliament session on it.
The acting successor will be Brig.-Gen. Elias Baissari.

⋯ Abbas Ibrahim, who has been in office since July 2011, is close to Amal and Hezbullah, yet a friend to the West and the USA. He worked with the CIA to free Americans held in Syria—notably the case of Austin Tice, who went missing in 2012.
Asked today about his political life, he said that he aspires to become foreign minister if offered a ministerial post. Asked whether he is eying the parliament speaker post (since he's a Shia), he replied: “May God prolong Speaker Berri’s life”.

⋯ Currently, Lebanon has no president of the Republic (term ended in October 2022), no plenipotentiary government (caretaker capacity since the elections in May 2022), no General Security chief (he just retired).
Many nominations for top positions are delayed, waiting for a plenipotent government.
