🇸🇾l🇮🇱 Hebrew media: Defense Minister Israel Katz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi are holding an assessment on the developments in Syria

"The IDF is following the events and is preparing for any scenario in attack and defense," the military says.

"The IDF will not allow a threat near the Syrian-Israeli border, and will work to thwart any threat to the citizens of the State of Israel," it adds.

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.

- The aggression on Syria today is sponsored by the US and "israel." The takfiri terrorists are tools used by these parties that aim to strip Syria of its role as a supporter of the Resistance to a role that serves the "israeli" enemy.

He adds that they will support Syria, but doesn't specify how. (End)

It is needless to say, the situation is very critical in Lebanon and Syria, and hardships are expected and can only be triumphed over by unity of the community and supporting each other and working hard to try to flip the situation into better.

While the IDF is being able to learn a lot of lessons and implement many improvements and integrate even more technology, Hezbullah will be faced by many large obstacles in Syria and Lebanon, and lack of freedom and time.

Syria, whose possible collapse will make Lebanon isolated, weak, and even more vulnerable than it already is.

God help those who will lead in these few months and years, because the burden that they will carry and the challenges are going to be unprecedented.

We, we, will only have to wait and see. Let's wait and see what God's law on earth have stipulated these events will lead in these lands.

Oppression doesn't last, evil doesn't last, good doesn't last, nothing lasts but God. Let's enjoy (survive) these few decades on earth and then go to our eternal residence.

🇱🇧 Hezbullah estimated rent to be 500$ in Beirut and 400$ outside of it, however these numbers are higher than pre-war prices by margins

Unfortunately this is because many people knew that families now need rent, tens of thousands of families whose houses either were destroyed or damaged, and are taking advantage of others.

This is happening both inside Dahyeh from within the same community and outside.

Prices of glass and aluminum is also x3 and x3, taking advantage of the people whose windows got damaged from the Israeli sonic booms and shockwaves.

Mate, go read the situation not my post. If you can't judge beyond that, it's not my fault.

Describing the situation as is, isn't dooming. It's reality. Telling you something fake or giving you false hope for something won't help you.

Neither you nor I am fighting, and those fighting wont be reading here. So what I say or you say have zero impact on what's happening in the real world.

You think I'm happy about the situation? Watching everything collapse because some challenges were too hard to overcome or because the corruption and incompetence of something else?

Of course not, and these events impact us all..close to home. And their repercussions are going to affect all.

I didn't say we are done. I didn't say we are crushed. I never said those words, I only highlighted what the enemy has done and reached.

So yeah, not dooming because I want to affect your morale. There are hundreds of other channels giving morale boosts, I'm counting on them to give you your boost.

🇸🇾 🇸🇾 Syrian Minister of Defense:

– Today, we are fighting a fierce and ongoing battle with the most brutal terrorist organizations, which are using a guerrilla approach, which forces our armed forces to use appropriate methods in fighting the battles, including advances and retreats, and withdrawals to some defensive points.

– These terrorist organizations are backed by Turkey and other actors, in terms of logistics, weaponry and planning, which complicates the situation.

– We are in a good field situation, and our armed forces have worked to redeploy to preserve lives.

– Military action in the context of battle tactics sometimes requires redeployment.

– Syria, with its army, people, leadership, and the support of its allies and friends, is capable of overcoming the challenges, no matter how severe or difficult.

– We confirm that what happened in the city of Hama today is a temporary tactical measure. Our forces are still in the vicinity of the city of Hama and are fully prepared and ready to confront any assault.'

🇸🇾l🇱🇧 There are various reports that some Lebanese where freed from a prison in Hama, Syria who were there since the Syrian era in Lebanon in the 1980's and 1990's.

However there is no confirmation. This is the only photo, allegedly someone from Al-Ali family.

Syria previously informed Lebanon there is no Lebanese left in prisons.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Israel starts to relax in the north, seeing progress towards calm and end of the war

After assessing the situation, it was decided in the Northern Command to release from active reserve service all members of the standby squads and settlement protection departments in settlements that are not evacuated (not adjacent to a fence) throughout the North.

They will be released starting next Saturday, 14/12

The ones who will not be released are the commanders and commanders of the standby units in those localities.

No changes yet in the evacuated localities in the north - there is no change in the assessment of the situation, and everyone remains recruited. No setters allowed back.

🇸🇾l🇷🇺 A Russian military transport aircraft Il-76 RA-78840 of the Russian Aerospace Forces flew from Moscow to the Khmeimim airbase in Syria.

The flight was carried out through the airspace of Turkey, and not Iran, as is usually the case.

🇸🇾 This map is circulating on pro-SAA accounts, showing the alleged and unconfirmed encirclement of Hama

SAA-affiliated media claim to have captured the locations shown on this map in the past few hours. So, if their claims are true (a very big IF), the map looks something like this.

I added a part to it, because they just claimed to have captured the town of Khattab as well, completing the encirclement.

Quoted as is from @Middle_East_Spectator

Al-Arida crossing, Al-Adra crossing in Rablah, and Jousie crossing.
