💸 According to various financial reports, there are shortages in Lebanese pounds that forced banks to ask for loans from each other to cover that, but are being given at high interest rates.
This made banks move to offering people a very high interest rates on their LBP deposits, which can help them (banks) cover their shortages and at the same time be lower than what other banks are asking from them (banks).
Regardless, Lebanese are using the USD in day-to-day transactions which is helping stabilize the local economy and currency.

🇱🇧 One day during a "financial blockade on Hezbullah and risk of money flow"
Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah speaking about what was said to him by some in the resistance:
"... At the moment when I feel that the resistance is in a real financial predicament, I am ready to sell my kidney, and for my son to sell his kidney, and for my wife to sell her kidney and give the money to the resistance so that the resistance can continue."

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 Israeli army vehicles seen carrying out digging and entrenchment operations in Tal Ahmar Gharbi, near the town of Kodna in the Quneitra countryside adjacent to the Golan Heights.
Vehicles and military equipment were used to reinforce their positions in the area, which the Israeli army penetrated in Quneitra on December 8.
The army also reached a strategic water infrastructure in the area, taking control of the dam.
So far, the new Syrian administration neither tackled the matter nor issued a statement about it.
The new Syrian administration is busy purging, whole the southern provincess are lawless (Druze areas) or under Israel threats and the east under separatist Kurdish control.

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 Yesterday's border clashes were indeed beyond any doubt between the Lebanese Army and the new Syrian administration, and only stopped after Mikati called Jolani.
Imagine such clarity and people still lie, and so understand how false rhetoric and history is forged.
In an official statement, Jolani and Lebanese PM Najib Mikati, stressed on the cooperation to secure the border and security of both countries.

UNIFIL vehicles closed the main road of Wadi al-Hujayr at the foot of Qantara for some time, and the soldiers searched the surrounding area before the patrol headed towards Wadi al-Khanazir at the foot of al-Qusayr, Alaman and Deir Siryan to search for possible resistance facilities.
🇱🇧l🇫🇷 The force that did this was the French.
It's usually always them. No coordination was done with the Lebanese army, which is mandatory, as there is no changes in the UN's mandate.

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 Conditions for entry of Lebanese citizens into Syria:
1. Have residential permit
2. Be married to a Syrian
3. Be Syrian son or daughter
4. Written consent from Syrian General Security
I find this treatment noteworthy because the new Syrian administration knows very well that the visitors to Syria now are their Lebanese supporters and not Lebanese who are against them.
They are disrespecting their own allies and their friends, and it's not the "gotcha" moment they think they made.
Lebanon has similar rules against Syrians because the refugee crisis and the security situation.
Last time I visited Syria it only needed a stamp from the Lebanese general security, them a stamp from the Syrian general security.
The Syrian side was much better organized and professional, ngl.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Defense Minister Israel Katz says that if Hezbullah does not withdraw from Southern Lebanon "there will be no agreement,"
"Israel is interested in the implementation of the agreement in Lebanon and will continue to enforce it fully and without compromise to ensure the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes," Katz says during a visit to an IDF base in northern Israel where the military established a display of captured Hezbollah weapons.
"But the first condition for the implementation of the agreement is the complete withdrawal of the Hezbollah terror organization beyond the Litani River, the dismantling of all weapons and the [removal] of the terror infrastructure in the area by the Lebanese army, something that hasn't happened yet," he says.
"If this condition is not met, there will be no agreement, and Israel will be forced to act independently to ensure the safe return of the residents of the north to their homes," Katz adds.
