Lebanese News and Updates
🇱🇧l🇺🇸 A meeting between the President of the Republic and the Chairman of the Cessation of Hostilities Monitoring Committee, US General Jasper Jeffers, in the presence of Ambassador Lisa Johnson, prior to the committee meeting in Naqoura, where President Aoun asked the Chairman of the Committee to pressure Israel to implement the agreement, withdraw from the five hills
If Lebanese prisoners come back, please don't let anyone tell you Aoun did anything

The decision was taken in Israel days ago, and it stems from avoiding the issue before 2006 where Hezbullah would plan to kidnap Israelis to free Lebanese.

They are eliminating a risk factor.

Aoun today, was asking Jeffrey to discuss tomorrow with the Israelis the issue of Lebanese prisoners, while information indicate that Lebanese are already out of prison and possibly on the way to Lebanon.

From my count, there are 8 Lebanese Hezbullah members in Israel, including one killed by torture and the alleged Naval guy who was kidnaped in Batroun.

There are also about 4-6 kidnapped after the ceasefire, many if not post civilian.

No reports yet who will be released, some or all.

There release? You heard it here first and this might be related to the Israeli researcher in Iraq. (Check my older posts)

📰 Initial information indicate only 6 will be released today through the red cross.

This is not the total number of Lebanese prisoners, and most likely covers the civilians kidnaped after 26-Nov, including a paramedic and member of a local municipality

🇱🇧l🇺🇸 US envoy Morgan Ortagus: Israel will release 5 Lebanese prisoners and we will begin forming groups to launch consultations between it and Lebanon.

We have launched diplomatic working groups that will work to resolve problems between Lebanon and Israel, such as the Blue Line and others.

The agreement concerns the disarming and destruction of all Hezbullah infrastructure south of the Litani river (focus on this you liars)

The 5-6 Lebanese that will be released are the ones that were kidnaped during the ceasefire not the war.

The Lebanese president statement before the second extension to 18-Feb, concerns the prisoners of the war not the ones kidnaped after his statement (during the ceasefire).

Aka nothing was achieved yet it seems.

One Lebanese was murdered in each of the Israeli drone attacks today in Lebanon. (Two in total)

The U.S envoy added that it is the Lebanese state's duty to rebuild not Hezbullah.

(Yes please. Let's do that haha. Hezbullah who already paid 0.5 billion as initial compensation is asking this too)

🇮🇱 Israeli Prime Minister's Office:

- Today a four-way meeting was held in Nakoura in Lebanon with the participation of representatives of the IDF, and representatives from the United States, France and Lebanon.

- As part of the meeting, it was agreed to establish three joint working groups whose goal is to stabilize the region and which will focus on the following issues: the five points over which Israel controls South Lebanon, discussions on the Blue Line issue and points that remain in dispute, and the issue of the Lebanese detainees held by Israel.

- In coordination with the United States and as a tribute to the new Lebanese president, Israel agreed to release five Lebanese detainees.

(He is thanking daddy Aoun for destroying Hezbullah's bases and weapons in south Lebanon) It's actually happening btw in south of the Litani

Nizar Zakka tells LBCI that five Lebanese detainees held by Israel include four civilians, one Hezbullah operative. In exchange, Lebanon agreed to begin negotiations for land border demarcation w/Israel regarding the 13 disputed points along the Blue Line.

Aka people kidnaped during the ceasefire and not during the war.

People whose kidnapp was a criminal act, and setting them free should not have been negotiated but demanded by the useless committee

And funny how they acknowledge they kidnapped civilians for this long without trial and in such conditions.

and the issue of the Lebanese detainees held by Israel.
So what happened?

Lebanon agreed to negotiate with Israel the land border, which is a taboo topic and which includes Shebaa farms that Israel will never ever withdraw from.

Any agreement without it forfeits Lebanon's rights to this occupied area forever. So a deal is not going to happen.

To trick Lebanon into such negotiations, Israel will release 5 CIVILIANS kidnapped during the CEASEFIRE in a criminal manner.

So is that clear my fellow Lebanese? Is it clear how Aoun is cynically being played and playing?

The 5 Lebanese civilians who were kidnaped during the ceasefire have been handed over to the red cross.

Do you know that the IDF shot dead more than 30 Lebanese civilian during a single day of the ceasefire, killing including women and children

The location is near Houmen el-Fawaa
🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The IDF claims to have assassinated the Head of Hezbullah’s Aerial Array in the "Bader" Regional Unit.

Bader Unit is stationed north of the Litani river, and thus not related to the disarming mentioned in the ceasefire and the 1701.

The IDF's attack is criminal regardless, as the martyrs Hassan Ezzidine was killed in civilian life, and such attack is a blatant violation of all laws and norms.

The IDF continues to take advantage of Hezbullah's weakening in the war and their abstaining from any military action to further depeen Hezbullah's wounds.

The Lebanese state continues to fail to pressure the U.S-headed committee to force Israel to abide by the ceasefire

Both drone strikes today are north of the Litani river, particularly this which is very deep in south Lebanon

Opsec is very important right?

I know Hezbullah didn't do everything needed yet, especially by not ordering people at funerals who are doing the military parade to wear masks.

Anyways, they should know better, those in those parades should be responsible for their lives by taking personal measures.

But talking about cars, I wanted to tell you that the Lebanese state does not care about personal data and from a irl example learn this.

Every single registered card in Lebanon, has the information of its owner and phone number (and possibly address) available online.

A few days ago my car was indirectly blocked the pathway of someone, and I was surprised by him calling me to move my car. He got my number from my car plate number.

So imagine what the IDF is able to do with a car's model, color, plate number, and phone number database.

It's pathetic.

Similar to the attack on Naqoura last week when two cars were attacked collecting scarp metal,

This attack, verp deep in south Lebanon, attacked a car carrying wood being collected from the trees.
The IDF also took credit for this attack.

They falsely claim they targeted a group of Hezbullah at an old abandoned Hezbullah base.

What happened? They targeted civilian collecting wood near an abandoned Hezbullah shooting range.

The IDF is lying and has attacked civilians, exactly like in Naqoura. An attack that is in violation of 1701 and the ceasefire.

The twitter account of the Lebanese president is lying.

The 4 released today were kidnaped during the ceasefire (time for Israeli withdrawal) and some barely a few weeks ago and NOT during the war.

Tweet: https://x.com/LBpresidency/status/1899508164808065257

The IDF released 4 today and will release the 5th tomorrow. Doesn't make sense why they would delay.

Anyways, the least they could do is give Lebanon the total number and names of those in prisons and the Bodies

In the clownish tweet, they used "Israel" not the "Israeli enemy forces" like how the Lebanese Army formats its statements
