❗️Two Merkava tanks, a number of infantry and vehicles advanced towards the outskirts of the town of Qantara.
Three tanks and similar forces advanced towards the southern neighborhoods of the town of Taybeh, firing machine guns and throwing grenades during the advance, which led to the burning of four houses in Taybeh.
That's 4 houses that survived the war but not the ceasefire.

🇱🇧 A statement by the Free Patriotic Movement:
We have a very clear position: From the beginning, we have been against the nomination of the Army Commander to the presidency.
Firstly because of his performance, and secondly because it violates the constitution.
We wish the Lebanese Forces party and its president would clearly announce their position on the nomination of the Army Commander and tell us how we can aspire to a reform era that begins with violating the constitution?

A lot of rumors and questions about when Sayyed will be buried.
My bet is after the Jan 25, when the withdrawal date is expected.
But now, it's close to February, when Hezbullah has yearly anniversary of its martyred leadership: Sheikh Ragheb, Sayyed Abbas, Imad Moghnieh.
Sayyed will likely be buried that day to be commemorated with the others on the same date. Makes it easier for yearly anniversaries and just makes sense.
It's also safer after everyone ensures the ceasefire will last, and two months after the people have rested and recalibrated their lives that were affected by this war.
Hezbullah lost a lot of historical leadership and founding fathers in this war, and so, Hezbullah will unlikely be able to give each the time and memory he deserves.

✍ General info
Such remains in border towns are not evidence that the tank was destroyed.
These are usually replaced during war due to degradation, and are left in the maintenance area because there is no benefit of collecting them.
You'll find track, side plates, etc etc

📸 The Lebanese army was supposed to conclude opening the roads today near Al-Qantara but the Israeli army attempted to advance again before retreating.
Because of this situation, and the Israeli attempts to advance to a new town, not only never reached during the war but is out of the "red zone" that was designated by the IDF.
In light of this situation, the Lebanese army evacuated the town of Qantara, in suspicion that the IDF is going to enter it again
Hopefully the Lebanese army fulfills his role, and stays in the town to avoid any new incurious. It really takes only one courageous order to stand and not allow them to come.
The IDF will not shoot and kill the Lebanese soldiers in such a standoff, or else it'll get immense heat from its allies.

📰 Large scale demolition of civilian houses in several border towns, including Kfarkila.
Most of these towns were largely intact during the war. The destruction levels are 2.5 times more than in 2006.

⭕️ So far, Hezbullah Jihad al-Binaa foundation have scanned the damages from 185,720 buildings and apartments around Lebanon.

They have scanned:
- South of Litani: 40,731
- North of Litani and Western Beqaa: 50,227
- Beirut and Matn: 70,813

2006: 127,000 apartment damaged
2024: 317,500 apartment damaged
2006: 17,500 apartment destroyed
2024: 43,750 apartment destroyed
Unfortunately, the war was at a time when Hezbullah is not very liquid and Iran is facing an extreme economic situation and inflation. No Arab state is willing to contribute and help.
If funding is available, the reconstruction will take about 4 years.

To read and get more information on this topic, there is a topic in Arabic: https://al-akhbar.com/lebanon/817333
To follow Jihad al-Binaa: https://news.1rj.ru/str/jihadbinaa
My family and I weren't affected by this war, in terms of notable destruction, so I'm in no position to advise people who have.
However its important for those people to be patient and know that Hezbullah is doing everything they can to help. They aren't tycoons nor are they a state. They are doing their best and inshallah they'll be by your side to compensate.
Everyone ofc is sad if they lose their house and their memories, but also the money spent to make it home. But that's unfortunately war and it was fought against a criminal one that disregarded civilian infrastructure.

🇱🇧l🇸🇾l🇪🇬 After visiting Syria to celebrate the new state, AbdulRahman Yousef al-Qaradawi visited Lebanon where he was arrested by the Lebanese security services.
He is at the risk of being deported to Egypt, where he is a wanted man for the actions of his father against Al-Sisi.
✍ If you are wanted by any Arab State, don't visit Lebanon. They are arresting and deporting to appease the rulers.

🇸🇾l🇮🇷 Previous Syrian Prime Minister: Iran's debts are $30 billion
He claims they supported the regime with $3 billion annually, in addition to providing it with two million barrels of oil per month for free, and another million barrels that were paid for.
✍ I wanted to note here for everyone, to observe the level of friendly and respectful Iranian relationship with Syria before and how they didn't interfere but within the limits of what the state allowed verses Turkey who now is not only demanding Israel to coordinate with them before attacking Syria, but wants to print the Syrian money and passports, upgrade the Syrian airports, invest in Aleppo's factories, and is daily talking about the Kurds.
People are just hypocrites. It was never able what Iran was doing, but what they wanted to be done.

📰 A building collapsed completely in the Saint Therese area in the southern suburb.
The building's foundations ware cracked due to the Israeli aggression and the heavy rains caused it to collapse, resulting in a loud noise that was heard around Beirut.
Several buildings are expected to be demolitioned, after being compromised by nearby Israeli attacks during the war.

❗️Hezbullah votes its MP Mohammad Raad, the highest voted parliamentary in Lebanon, as the deputy Secretary General of Hezbullah.
Raad was part of Hezbullah's shura council, who led Hezbullah's parliamentary bloc and was close to Hezbullah's executive and military leadership.
His son was martyred early during the support front.
Since the war started, he has not been seen publicly. I hope Hezbullah keeps him in the parliament too

Mohammad Raad was known as the man who doesn't usually smile, but after his eldest son was martyred his smile never left his face and took it as his personal duty to visit the families of all Martyrs and comfort them and be by their side.
He told them, now I can feel what you feel and now I'm no longer shy from you.
May God support him in this role, and guide him to correct decisions.

He has been the most vocal and active MP recently. Unclear yet if Raad will resign from the parliament.
