🇱🇧l🇺🇸 US intel agencies assess that Lebanon’s Hezbullah, even amid Israel’s military campaign, has begun to recruit new fighters and is trying to find ways to rearm through domestic production and by smuggling materials through Syria.

The report adds that Hezbullah is operating with limited firepower and has lost more than half its weapons stockpiles and thousands of fighters during the conflict with Israel.

But the group has not been destroyed and still maintains thousands of short-range rockets in Lebanon and it will try to rebuild using weapons factories in neighboring countries with available transport routes, per sources.

🇮🇱 Katz, Netanyahu's yes-man, announced that he will take "disciplinary action" against IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari for his harsh criticism of the Feldstein Law.

This law intends to protect Netanyahu, whose staff and office member Feldstein leaked secret documents to protect the PM for failing on 7-Oct to take action.

"The criticism of the IDF Spokesman against the political echelon and against the legislative process in the Knesset is a grave phenomenon and a complete deviation from his authority and what is allowed and expected of a uniformed person in a democratic regime," Katz says in a statement.

The spokesman clearly said what the IDF Chief of Staff wanted him to say, showcasing the trouble in Israel.

Just yesterday, Netanyahu attacked the head of the Shin Bet.

🇮🇱 Hebrew media: IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi reprimanded IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari over his remarks at a press conference this evening regarding the so-called Feldstein Law

The IDF says Hagari "exceeded the scope of his authority" with his criticism of the law.

"The IDF does not criticize the legislature, but presents its position to the political echelon in the accepted mechanisms," the military adds.

❗️The head of the Lebanese Forces party Center in Karm Al Zeitoun, Roland Al Murr, was killed as a result of a dispute that took place in the Achrafieh area this evening, which developed into a shooting between a group of "Soldiers of God" and young men from the LF.

The two are heavily armed, unlike what they claim.

Three years ago, the LF ambushed unarmed protestors and supporters of Hezbullah, killing many civilians, including a woman in her home. The LF sustained no casualties (deaths)

I don't know what's happening, but I expected to wake up to this bad news.

Idk why? Idk how? Idk anything. Catastrophic and I can't find a reason why the Syrian army decided to withdraw. (Withdrawal orders were given a few days ago btw)

I guess, we wait to see if we have a new Syria by New Years Eve, or what. Can't say but

🇸🇾 Abu Mohamed Al-Golani first joined al-Qaeda to fight the US occupation forces and the Iraqi government in 2003.

Not long after, he joined ISIS at the end of that decade, before defecting back to Al-Qaeda and creating Jabhat al-Nusra

To only then backstab Al-Qaeda again, kill its leaders in Syria, and suppress its groups and create HTS.

In an old speech with Al-Jazeera whare his face was hidden he talks about the Syrian war and justifies Hezbullah's involvement:
"Hezbullah entered the Syrian war, and it is an inevitable war must war for them. The fall of Bashar al-Assad is the end of Hezbullah, and this strengthens its internal Lebanese opponents."

He also talks about how Jabhat al-Nusra is 30% foreigners and so on.

🇸🇾 Funny enough, Isis calls Al-Jolani the Jewlani or the Jew of Jihad, for what he did in defecting and lying and etc.

When ISIS's Al-Adnani came to Syria to check on the situation as a representative to Al-Baghdadi, he described Al-Jolani as someone who loved being talked about in the media and likes to take good photos. That his eyes would spark when someone brings up his name and is lustful for power.

- are we cooked fam?

🇸🇾 Homs will be the battle that will define this war, even though as it stands, salvaging is very hard. If Homs fall, Syria might all fall.

It's not only about land, it's about the manpower, the population, the economy, the ability. The agriculture, the fuel, the factories, everything...

كلمة سماحة الأمين العام لحزب الله الشيخ نعيم قاسم (حفظه الله).

Speeches seem to be recorded previously.

- We were subject to the most aggressive war by the "israeli" enemy since 1982, through which the enemy aimed to dismantle the Resistance. But we fought back, and engaged in the battle of "Uli al-Ba'as." By God's Grace, we emerged victorious after days and weeks of displacement and destruction.

- The legendary resilience of the Mujahideen, which took the world's breath away, is the first reason behind this victory. This came in addition to the sacrifices of the martyrs and wounded, and especially our greatest martyr, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, whose martyrdom gave great momentum to the movement and drove us to victory.

- The third factor was the ability of the Resistance to restore and rebuild its leadership structure. This allowed the management of the "Uli al-Ba'as" battle to proceed as needed.

- By thwarting the enemy's aggression and preventing them from achieving their goals, the Resistance was able to bring defeat to the enemy. The Resistance triumphed by withstanding this aggression.

- We agreed to the agreement that was set, which is an agreement to end the aggression on Lebanon, and which dictates a mechanism for the implementation of Resolution 1701. Note that "israel" too is under the authority of this resolution.

- presence of any weapons south of the Litani River. That is the area of its authority. As for the mechanisms internally in Lebanon between the Lebanese Army and the Resistance, this is for us to handle, and it is none of "israel's" business, nor any committee's

(Here he doesn't mean explicitly that Hezbullah will disarm in south of Litani, where 1701 is concerned, but that there will be no military 'presence' for Hezbullah)

- Resolution 1701 also demands the complete withdrawal of "israeli" forces from Lebanese land. It also includes, within the context of other resolutions contained in Resolution 1701, the restoration of all Lebanese land within Lebanon's borders within a specified time period.

- There have so far been over 60 "israeli" breaches of the agreement. It is the responsibility of the Lebanese state to put a limit to these breaches. The Resistance is leaving room to prevent the failure of this agreement.

The stage we are in right now is of rebuilding the destroyed properties, which is a promise and a commitment; the promise of our martyred Sayyed that we will commit to fulfilling now.

- Displacement left its toll on the people. There were over 1.1 million displaced civilians in Lebanon. Those were offered financial aid during the war, and those whose homes were destroyed or harmed will be compensated according to a clear strategy.

- I must thank the Iranian government for its generous offerings, which will provide the means for rebuilding. I must also thank the managements of the shrines, the PMF, and the Iraqi government, and Ansarullah in Yemen and its people for their offerings to the displaced.

- We will provide those whose primary residence was completely demolished $14,000 annually if they live in Beirut and $12,000 for other areas in order to pay rent and furnish their temporary residence until their homes are rebuilt. We do not want anyone to remain in schools or shelters.

- As for those who are partially damaged, we have committees that will scan and there will be a website with all details

- we ask friendly states, Arabs, Muslims, and diaspora to support in rebuilding.
