🔁 RT @thephalangist: @UpdatesLebanese "how many times have IAF violated Lebanese sovereignty this week?" https://t.co/THPKFgmiyU

1- IDF always releases footage to win the media; it's days late.

2- IDF spox claimed there is combat between IDF and the cell, the video should show that.

3- The footage should show armed Hezbullah crossing the blue line for "long minutes" as the IDF claimed.

Continued... https://t.co/wFDTVKDQ67

4- The idea of Hezbullah sending three with light weapons for an operation is funny, but we'll go with that as long as you show people with guns crossing the blue line.

5- The idea of spotting only 3 is weak, as Hezbullah doesn't operate without backup groups and support.

6- Hezbullah didn't claim they don't operate on the border or where not there, IDF already showed throughout the years Hezbullah members with light weapons and binoculars. Hezb was clear when they said they did perform an operation and didn't engage with any IDF force

Continued.

7- And it's really funny that the strongest military in the middle East that used to dab it's way to Beirut, is afraid to kill or shoot, avoiding injuring, a group of "terrorists" who are planning an operation to kill IDF soldiers. If anything this showed how weak and afraid. END

Yeah they didn't want to kill them, but fired artillery in the dozens for up to an hour in the fields they claimed the cell was located in.

Artillery doesn't kill you know. https://t.co/tewngkpoGP

The Director General of the Ministry of Economy, Muhammad Abu Haidar, raided the Hashem Gas Station, in Nabatieh, accompanied by security forces.

The diesel and gas issue Lebanon is facing now is due to hoarding from several gas stations and the main distributers faking amounts https://t.co/pg7zYjm0Xn

How? The private distributers that make 60% of the market are selling a small % at the official rate but giving invoices to those who purchased of having bought more. They then are selling that amount to the black market.

So basically they are selling to the black market at 22,000+ LL what should be sold to the public at 13,000 LL. The black market is then selling it to the people at 30,000-45,0000 LL.

This is one of the reasons private generators protested, due to the manipulation of the price

Add to the private distributers, two of Lebanon's main refineries are helping in this hoarding and not selling directly to the public. Both refineries are under the authority of two secterian authorities in Lebanon

Lebanese parties are bankrolled by the corruption in this sector
