🇱🇧l🇮🇱 So far, the Jewish army has refused to evacuate the Mahamis hill south of Khiyam which was supposed to be part of the weeks-old withdrawal plan (phase #1)

This is a very ominous sign, and so far zero public pressure by the Lebanese government or the ceasefire committee.

❗️Israeli occupation soldiers advanced towards Wadi Hassan on the outskirts of Majdal Zun in south Lebanon.

This is several KMs deep in Lebanon, towards a very heavily forested area.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Five Israeli vehicles blocked the road at the entrance to Deir Mimas town and entered to some homes in the eastern neighborhood of the town.

📰 Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of Hanine town with 5 artillery shells.

🇸🇾l🇱🇧 Lebanon received an American Interpol warrant to arrest the director of the Syrian Air Force Intelligence from the previous government/regime.

The Interpol warrant is for Major General Jamil al-Hassan was circulated to the Lebanese security services and he would be arrested at any border crossing.

(Lebanon usually obeys these, and has previously kidnapped Hezbullah/Iran affiliated Saudis and handed them back to KSA)

🇮🇷l🇸🇾 Iranian MFA announces that Seyed Davoud Bitarf, a local staff member at the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, was martyred last Sunday after being shot by armed groups in Syria.

The Iranian MFA emphasized the responsibility of the Syrian transitional government to identify, prosecute and punish the perpetrators of this crime, adding:

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is seriously pursuing the issue appropriately and through various diplomatic and international channels."

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 The family of Hussein al-Mousawi has not yet heard back from him ever since he was kidnaped in Syria a few days ago by the new state.

He was a taxi driver, transporting a Syrian family. He is the breadwinner of his family.

There is zero coverage in Lebanese media and no action yet by the Lebanese government.

The red flag is nostalgic.

Low-key wish Hezbullah would alternate between 3 depending on the situation, black during mourning, red during the call for revenge, and yellow during victory

Some sort of symbology.

🥀Today: Civil Defense announced the recovery of a martyr's body from under the rubble in Al-Jalahiya neighborhood - Al-Khiyam town

🇱🇧 The main goal of former MP Walid Jumblatt to nominate Joseph Aoun as a candidate has been achieved, in burning Geagea's presidential ticket.

Gaegae no longer has the courage to nominate himself, despite his party threatening, through MP Pierre Bou Assi, with the possibility of boycotting the session or disabling its quorum under the noscript of "conducting an evaluation of the entire process and preventing the resistance candidate from reaching it."

Aoun is not a pro-Resistance candidate and has betrayed his party FPM, he is also close to the USA, however he simply is not Gaegae who sees this is his golden opportunity after the collapse of the Syrian Regime and the weakening of Hezbullah.

📸 "If Geagea wants to prove himself as the leader of the opposition, he should do so without us."

🇱🇧l🇮🇷l🇸🇾 The new government in Damascus did not permit an Iranian flight to pass through Syrian airspace, forcing it to divert through Turkey to land in Lebanon. @Lebupdate

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 However other reports indicate Mahan Air is avoiding Syrian airspace most likely for safety reasons on its flight to/from Beirut since 12 Dec 2024. By Samir on X

@Lebupdate

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 Lebanese Druze leader Walid Joumblat arrived in Damascus to meet its new ruler Al-Jowlani.

📸 You can say, Joumblat had a thing for Syrian leaders and was a friend of everyone when that one was at the height of his power, then an enemy to him when he crumbled.

From Hafez, to Bachar, and now to Al-Shar'a(Jowlani)

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Israeli soldiers which are stationed at the intersection of the towns of Ain Arab and Mari and are raiding homes in the neighboring village of Rayhana Bri in southern Lebanon. @Lebupdate

🇺🇸 A U.S. F-18 was shot down in a friendly fire incident near Yemen, while trying to counter the drones launched by Ansarallah.

✍ Israeli pilots are much more experienced in this role, and have proved to be better than many in the U.S. air force and Navy. There is an article about this describing the events or April-2024 that provides details.

📸 Joumbmat also met the new Syrian Prime Minister. @Lebupdate

📸 Joumblat was accompanied by some Lebanese Shia opposition, namely Mohammad Barakat who created a "new movement" against Hezbullah.

He's an outcast and so is his "new movement" who are trying to take advantage. of the current situation and the emotions after the war to gain political support away from Hezbullah. @Lebupdate
