📸 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)

🇺🇸 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.

📸 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

📸 His movement is called "Towards rescue".

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 In a a first (if not mistaken), an Israeli political official, Minister of War Katz, entered into south Lebanon and threatened again.

Despite Hezbullah's complete silence and abstaining against all Israeli violations, including attacks on civilians and Lebanese state, Katz said:

"If Hezbullah does not withdraw beyond Litani and tries to violate the cease-fire - we will run off his head.

"We will ensure the removal of the threat and the return of security to allow the residents of the north to return safely to their homes."

Delusional delusional delusional, but mostly bloodlustful.

Previously political figures abstained from visiting because Lebanon is a state, and any visit is considered illegal else the area is to be considered under their occupation. @Lebupdate

❗️The Israeli army kidnapped 3 Lebanese citizens on the Wadi Al-Hujayr road on Thursday evening, identified Mahdi Shamout, Fouad Qataya and Ali Younes.
🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Israel released today from the Abbad base on the outskirts of Houla the detained young man, Mahdi Shamout, who they had kidnapped last Thursday in the Wadi al-Hujayr area, where his car was found hit by several gunshots.

He was on his way to work, and stumbled into Israeli forces who were advancing.

No details if he was alone, or if the other two are related to the same kidnapping.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 While in Damascus, Walid Joumblat forfeits Lebanon's rights to Shebaa farms and claim they are Syrian.

So, he implies Lebanon no longer has a claim dispute with Israel, negating the need for a resistance against occupation.

[it's now Syria's concern not ours, is what he implied and not for the first time] @Lebupdate

🇱🇧 Statement by the Lebanese army

In continuation of the army's process of taking over military centers that were occupied by Palestinian organizations inside Lebanese territory, an army unit in the town of Kfar Zabad - Zahle took over the center of Jbeil Ain al-Baida, formerly affiliated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command.

We onfiscated large quantities of weapons and ammunition in addition to military equipment.

These missions come within the framework of maintaining security and stability and extending state authority in various regions.

📸 From the warehouse that they confiscated. It's mostly old ammunition and stored in the worst conditions ever.

Btw, this plan was before the war and this was previously agreed on. It has nothing to do with the 1701 nor the fall of Assad. @Lebupdate

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 Ahmed Al-Sharaa: As for the Lebanese Shiites, whether they are opponents or supporters, we speak with the logic of the state, far from political classifications, and there is a new page with all components of the Lebanese people.

Aka for now, Jowlani tells them not to bet on him to fight or pressure Hezbullah in Lebanon and he's willing to open a new page with them by not interfering and they not interfering.

🇱🇧 By the way, Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham had opened contacts with Hezbullah before the fall of Bashar al-Assad to arrange its withdrawal from some sites in Syria.

They tried to avoid unnecessarily fighting both the Russians and Hezbullah, considering SAA collapsed. @Lebupdate

🇱🇧 Hezbullah was in this town today, Safad al-Batikh to investigate the damages and start offering compensations.

Some people on social media aren't happy with what they got, demanding more. Some are reporting they got more than they expected. Etc

Same happened in 2006. Inshallah people are well compensated, inshallah people understand that Hezbullah is alone and is a party doing it's best to help them and not the state, and hopefully there will be no nepotism and ill-behaved lower-rank employees in this portfolio. @LebUpdate

🇱🇧 And yes as you'd expect, there is some dissatisfaction that is heard but mostly in closed circled about the situation.

In terms of destruction and the need to rebuild and compensate, and blame is being put on Hezbullah for the war.

How widespread, I don't know as I know my circles and not everyone's circles.

Inshallah these people are taken care of, and they are able to see beyond the blame "game" and don't wrongly accuse Hezbullah.

Who destroyed is Israel. Who occupied and attacked is Israel. Hezbullah is from you and for you. @LebUpdate
