Do you know that Israel spent a budget in the 2023-2024 war more than Hezbullah and Hamas has in all 40+ years combined.

No let me say more, so you know that Israel spent a budget that is more than Iran, Syria, Hezbullah and Hamas budget in the past 40 years combined?

❗️After the attack two days ago, a new Israeli drone strike in Janta this evening targets allegedly Hezbullah, murdering 6 and injuring 2.

This is one the highest death tolls reported during the ceasefire.

The IDF claims it was a manufacturing site for Hezbullah, and it a " violation of the ceasefire"

This is the 3 such recent attack on Janta, second to cause martyrs.

❗️On the other hand, at directions of the Lebanese president, and after continued non-stop aggression by the Syrians...

... The Lebanese army was ordered by the president to return fire.

Man such news is painful and is flashbacks of the war, waiting to wake up to see what bad things happened.

The agreement is clear, the ceasefire is clear, the Israeli continue to step on all red lines.

Who kills 6-8 during a ceasefire, at a site so far and doesn't pose a threat during a ceasefire after a war ended. How is this acceptable.

3 days, 3 consecutive attacks on Lebanon.

What will happen to the kids and teens who will go to the this north each spring and summer.

Anyways, as Hezbullah used to say that each piece of knowledge and weapon was paid by blood to get, today we are seeing this in real time.

These heros will continue to sacrifice, until the conditions are restored and leverage is available again.

🇱🇧l🇺🇸 Parliament speaker Berri met today the U.S envoy Oretgas, and ks quoted saying:

- Israel is an absolute evil and its continued occupation of our lands requires resistance

- Your administration, as a guarantor of the agreement, must oblige "Israel" to implement it fully

- The US administration must oblige "Israel" to implement the provisions of UN Resolution 1701, most notably withdrawal from all Lebanese national territory

Let's be very clear:

- They wanted to exclude Amal and Hezbullah from the government? They failed.

- They wanted to exclude the Shia from the ministry of Finance? Failed

- They wanted to not allow Amal to name the 5th Shia minister? They failed.

And as usual, Hezbullah got only 2 ministers and Amal got 3 as they always had agreed, despite Hezbullah being the bigger party.

Yes, there were compromises. Yes, the situation isn't optional. Yes, we are under grave grave threats.

But that's a challenge that passed in one of the harshest conditions and we passed. Berri yet again proved his loyalty to Hezbullah on side and his loyalty to the rights of the Shia community now and in the future.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Israeli drones continue to violate the Lebanese airspace over al-Rayhan mountain and Iqlim al-Tuffah

Forget the ceasefire, this is in violation of the so-called 1701 and a violation of the Lebanese sovereignty.

🇱🇧 Regarding the government, it is unfortunate that FPM wasn't presented.

Gebran Basil might not be the best friend, and his party has been very disrespectful to Hezbullah that they looked no different that the LF.

However he's a person who would not sell Lebanon to the West nor accept Israel or the West to attack Lebanon or do their bidding in Lebanon.

LF betrayed him as expected, took the Christians seats that they wanted directly and indirectly, accepted the Finance ministry for Amal, and literally everything they demanded happened the opposite of.

The Lebanese sectarian system was made to self-sabotage itself that's why unless FPM works with Hezbullah and stays a relevant part after the next elections, and cooperate with Amal and Sunni allies....the other side will always painfully sabotage.

"We refused to be subjected to the same humiliation that was practiced on the Lebanese Forces Party." - Gebran

🥀 Janta that was attacked today and before and will again unfortunately, was one of the birth places of Hezbullah.

Before this war, Sayyed Hassan launched a project to create a museum there to commemorate this area.

In Janta, our Iranian brother came to help. In Janta, Iranian brothers were also martyred.

📸 Hezbullah commemorates the martyrs of Janta in Brital, November 28, 1983.

On November 16, 1983, the Israeli Air Force carried out an air raid targeting a training camp for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and Hezbullah in the Janta area in the Bekaa Valley, resulting in the deaths of 16 martyrs, including 3 Iranians.

Back then, this attack and the murder of Sayyed Abbass led to suicide martyrdom attacks by Hezbullah against the IDF and Jews in Lebanon and worldwide to ensure that training camps are never attacked again and to create a iron deterrence
