In the village of Umm al-Tut, which shares a municipality with Marwahin, it is a little more active

There, the plastic houses seem an unusual sight in the region, which relies heavily on tobacco cultivation. These irrigated crops were not prevalent in the area. 

Some of those who had experience working elsewhere, including Aziz Abu Hadla, brought them to the village. He dug an artesian well, started farming, and settled in his village.

These villages are distinguished by their political loyalty to the Future Movement, the Hariri party.

However, unlike other environments, supportive of Hezbullah or Amal, the people of these villages distinguish between political differences and the sectarian discourse that surrounds Lebanon.

Even those who have political differences with Hezbullah share life with them, both good and bad.

Because Yarine is the largest village among its sister villages, electoral battles take on a clearer political dimension.

In Marwahin families play a larger role. For example, the mayor of Marouhin, Muhammad Obeid, is affiliated with Amal. The mayor of Yarin, Samer Al-Aqla, confirms that the conflict between the parties does not go beyond politics.

He regrets the small number of residents in the town, but he seems convinced that this reality has become difficult to change after all these years.

Al-Aqla speaks at length about the strong relations with the surroundings. 

Many of these towns locals are diaspora too, much like Yaroun and Maroun whose families have left for the USA and Australia, and similar to Bint Jbeil. Long ago, not recently

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 In a bold claim, the Israeli Minister of War, Gallant, claims that Hezbullah only has 20% left of its rocket array and is unable to coordinate attacks anymore.

(Note: Hezbullah is firing rockets and releasing footage the same day, which indicates a healthy C&C in the rear. Yes conditionals aren't optimal but they are for now hamdella well based on the consistent launching numbers)

📸 The 400 tons of explosives were enough to cause a near surface earthquake of 4.9

The facility reached about 40 m down in its deepest area.
❗️As mentioned by many expert geologists, Israel should stop underground demolition near fault lines or risk a massive earthquake in Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria.

Last time's demolition triggered the center of the fault lines, Roun and Yammouneh and led to a 5° earthquake.

Any stronger demolitions could cause natural devastation to these very sensitive areas

🇮🇱I🇱🇧 One month into the war in Lebanon, the Israeli army evacuated 200 injured soldiers in MEDVEC helicopters.

Total number of injuries is 600

While in Gaza, a total of 1,600 since 7-Oct-23

🇮🇱l🇱🇧l🇺🇳 After staying silent for weeks despite the attacks on the UN by Israeli forces, from demolitions to shooting, the IDF now announced that the errant rocket that impacted a UN base today was fired by Hezbullah.

Regardless, they pointed it was fired from Hallousieh, which highlights how Israeli Radars are able to detect the zone of fire.

Hezbullah did not target the UN on purpose, but rather ths Israeli border base in Al-Naqoura. Unlike the IDF that fired on the UN countless times on purpose

⭕️ Hezbullah released footage of their drone launches yesterday towards Israeli army gathering and staging grounds in Israeli settlements.

The attacks were based on accurate intelligence by surveillance teams. Notice how the IDF is hiding and gathering vehicles between houses?

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Israel wants to end the war soon, ask the Lebanese government to continue

According to various knowledgeable sources, Israel's demands in the settlement with Lebanon are:

- The Lebanese army will work to dismantle the Hezbullah infrastructure that remained until the Litani

- IDF forces will remain in Lebanon until this move is completed as a condition for its fulfillment

- Israel will have the ability to enforce on its own if it sees that Hezbullah has rebuilt itself near Israel

- An effective arms embargo on Lebanon on land, in the air and at sea

🇱🇧 An average family in Lebanon has:

- A member in Hezbullah
- A member in Amal
- A member in the Lebanese army
- A member in the police
- A member etc etc

Delusional who thinks the Lebanese army will risk disintegrating and collapsing for the sake of implementing Israel's mission in Lebanon. Even if some officers do it, or the commander of the army agrees, it won't happen.

Yes the army would help enforce a better arms blockade on Hezbullah, but no, they won't fight Hezbullah or raid it.

And unfortunately tonight, I heard some bad news from Aita al-Shaab about possible injured fighters being captured as POWs
🇮🇱l🇱🇧 The Israeli army released footage of the Hezbullah fighters and commanders they took as prisoner two weeks ago in Aita al-Shaab after they attacked the building they are in and deployed a gas again them.

The gas forced them to become disoriented, and in pain. One was a commander of the village.

Hezbullah fighters didn't withdraw and stayed put, until they were killed or overwhelmed.

May God provide them with patience, and ease their prison time. They have been under torture

📸 And to justify destroying Aita al-Shaab, the Israeli army spammed red dots everywhere claiming this is where the prisoners were forced to falsely claim Hezbullah is in.

The attacks resulted in material damages and some causalities. The impact in Nahariyya killed a....you guessed...an Arab. As if the Israelis just never die.
📸 The Arab that was killed in Hezbullah's rocket attack on Ma'lout Tarshiha was an ex-IDF soldier and a son of an IDF soldier.

He was killed and his family were injured. He is named Mohammad Naeem.
