📹 From the attacks in Beqaa.

At least one of the airstrikes targeted a border area where clashes were ongoing between Lebanese families and the Syrian army

Remember this?

The IDF announced attacking it again, confirming they already did in the war but again now to avoid its possible reestablishment in the future.

Which we all know isn't possible with the current Syria.

They also announced attacking weapon and storage facilities which they claim are "a threat to Israel"

And that they are committed to not allowing Hezbullah to build up again.

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 A family of 4 was injured in the Israeli attack on Beqaa tonight

No other casualties known.

Summarizes the recent history (to say at least) of Sunni Jihadism (outside of Palestine)

❗️ Several explosions are heard in south Lebanon

🇱🇧 One day after the Lebanese army acknowledged that the Syrians are attacking Lebanon and after Lebanese families handed their positions to the army to defend it....

... The Lebanese army raided the families and confiscated many weapon, ammo, RPGs, etc

🇮🇱l🇵🇸 In response to the Israeli aggression in Gaza and delaying the terms of the ceasefire in light of the ongoing Israeli claims that they will go back to war to destroy Gaza after the prisoner exchange end...

...Hamas announces the delay of the prisoner exchange deal this Saturday until Israel completes its part.

This wasn't a sudden move. Israel was aware and this is why there was a delegation in Qatar to bridge the gaps.

What did Israel do wrong?
- Out of 12,000 aid trucks, only 8,500 entered Gaza
- out of 50 fuel trucks daily, only 15 entered Gaza
- Out of 200,000 tents, only 20,000 arrived in Gaza

What did Israelis call for? More death in Gaza, more destruction, more bloodshed, more genocide, more exodus, more evil

📰 This morning, an armed robbery attempt failed near Bristol, opposite Ayash Company, by three masked men.

The cashier opened fire on them, killing two of them while the third escaped.

📈 💰 💵 Gold in US dollar terms is over $2900.

🥇 First time in history.

🔶️ Gold prices jumped more than 1% on Monday to hit a record high, as safe-haven demand surged on fears of a global trade war after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariff plans.

🔶️ Trump announced on Sunday plans to impose an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium imports. He also said he will announce reciprocal tariffs this week, matching rates imposed by other countries and applying them immediately.

🔶️ Elsewhere, the amount of gold stored in the London vaults fell 1.7% month on month to 8,535 metric tons worth $771.6 billion in January due to a rush in shipments to the United States, the London Bullion Market Association said.

💰 🇨🇳 A Chinese pilot program to allow insurers to buy gold for the first time will allow billions of dollars of extra investment in the precious metal, adding further impetus to a record-setting rally

🔶️ Ten insurance firms — including PICC Property & Casualty Co. and China Life Insurance Co., two of China’s biggest — will be able to invest as much as 1% of their assets in bullion, in a program that became effective last Friday. That would translate into a potential 200 billion yuan ($27.4 billion) of funds, Minsheng Securities Co. said in a note.

🔶️ Gold has been one of the strongest performing commodities of the new year, as well as in 2024, with the metal hitting successive records. That extended uplift has been powered by the US Federal Reserve cutting rates, and central-bank buying, including purchases from China. Donald Trump’s second term as US president has also added an extra driver, with traders scrambling to adjust to his disruptive moves on trade.

🔶️ The policy tweak makes gold the first commodity that Chinese insurers have been explicitly permitted to invest in. China has restricted insurance funds from taking positions in assets without “stable cash returns,” and limits the amount they can put into bonds and stocks.

🇮🇱l🇺🇸 Channel 12 Israel, citing sources: Netanyahu asked Trump to postpone the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon until after February 18

✍ Btw do note, that the people's sacrifice on 26-Jan and the towns they liberated ensured that the IDF couldn't anymore send large forces deeper into Lebanon or to new areas.

Notice how no new incursions in the past week?

We'll see what happens by 18-Feb. Give everything time and understand the stakes

🇱🇧l🇺🇸 On the other hand, officials familiar with US intel tell Al Arabiya English the Lebanese army’s deployment along border w/Israel significantly increased over the last few weeks.

US envoy in Beirut today said Trump admin was committed to the Israeli withdrawal by Feb. 18.

She retweeted this announcement on her Twitter account (her account is literally a pro-israel fangirl one). However, she un-retweeted it.

She shared this instead about the Lebanese army deployment: https://x.com/LebarmyOfficial/status/1888576743268814869

📰 Additionally, the Israeli army radio reports that so far, Israel was told to withdraw and that so far, they don't have permission from the USA to stay.

This was reported by the Israeli army radio:

Israel did not ask the US to extend the deadline for Israeli forces to fully withdraw from Lebanon, which is set for Feb. 18, per White House source

🇺🇸 🇯🇴 🇪🇬 Trump Says He Could Cut Aid to Jordan and Egypt Over Gaza Takeover Plan

🔶️ The president turned up the pressure on the two nations to agree to his plan for them to house the Palestinian population of Gaza and said the Palestinians would not have the right to return to the territory.

🔶️ President Trump said on Monday that he could cut aid to Jordan and Egypt if they refused his demand to permanently take in most Palestinians from Gaza, substantially increasing the pressure on key allies in the region to back his audacious proposal to relocate the entire population of the territory in order to redevelop it.

🔶️ “If they don’t agree, I would conceivably withhold aid,” Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office a day ahead of a meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan.

Both Jordan and Egypt have rejected any suggestion that Palestinians be relocated to their countries.

📸 The commemorative photos of the new Lebanese government was taken at Baaba palace in the presence of the Lebanese president and Parliament speaker

🇱🇧 Work now is in regards to writing the ministerial statement, where for months now, the Lebanese opponents of Hezbullah wanted to remove any mention of resistance or the phrase "Army, people, resistance".

Most likely they will fail, and some sort of similar phrase with similar meaning will be used.

The drafting committee, consists of 5 ministers: Yassin Jaber, Tarek Mitri, Ghassan Salameh, Fayez Rasamni, and Paul Marcos

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Speaker Nabih Berri confirms that he is not reassured and has great fear that Israel will not commit to withdrawing on February 18.

He said: "If Israel remains occupying some of the ruling hills, this means that the occupation of the hills is ongoing and nothing has changed, which we cannot accept this."
