🇱🇧 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.

🇱🇧 Lebanese security forces arrested two Syrians trying to smuggle weapons and ammunition from Syria to Lebanon's northern governorates.

Additionally a local from the Sunni town of Arsal was arrested at a checkpoint, with ammunition and weapons.

🇱🇧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.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Katz isn't a man you'd give much weight to his words however there is clear consensus in Israel that:

"They aren't bound by time, but by operational conditions". This was echoed in an interview with the head of the Galilee division too.

The thing is, the Israeli army is lying about the Lebanese army's lack of efforts when the Leb army is supposed to have already deployed in many Lebanese border towns that the IDF itself is refusing to withdraw from.

The IDF still "hasn't finished work there", which is both a war crime and a violation of the ceasefire.

The IDF isn't working in good faith, and 3 months into the border town between a ceasefire and a war and they still think they have a something to do there.

About 20-30% of the Israeli northernors are already back home. Rest not yet

Katz the clown mentioned only a withdrawal south of Litani by Hezbullah, which is interesting because it plays into Hezbullah's rhetoric of disarming south of it only.

However Hezbullah is already disarmed ofc :)

We can just tell the IDF they destroyed everywhere and nothing is left. Let's play their game. They said they destroyed 70-80% of Hezbullah.

If we distribute this 20% between Beqaa, Beirut, noth of litani, and south of it.. there is nothing left
