Covering Lebanon and occasionally MENA's conflicts. And currently, the war in Palestine.

Most dangerous in this context, Beirut Review sources indicated that the Americans are behind keeping the current Army intelligence director in his position, despite the president's attempts to persuade them to appoint another name on the grounds that "it would be better for you."

These facts prove, once again, the existence of a Saudi-American tutelage over Lebanon.

The most worrying aspect of the appointments is the violation of the Lebanese Constitution, with Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, Defense Minister Michel Menassa, and the Interior Minister (who was appointed by the President of the Republic) excluded from the security appointments scene.

And as you'd expect, the hypocrites in the Lebanese Forces party didn't know how to justify their position.

After claiming they were consulted, they issued statement saying they protested the appointments made and the mechanism

However the situation gets more embarrassing for them, especially after they failed to secure the sovereignty over other civil war era Christian jobs.

Notably this time? The airport jobs

In brief, there were new positions appointes for the Lebanese Civil Aviation, another Lebanese state institute dominated by Christian-only positions.

However this time, several seats were stripped from them, and all the LF could make excuses.

With all love to my Christian brothers and sisters in Lebanon, in pro-ending the 50/50 distribution and the dominated #1 level jobs for them. It should be based on merit and not forced.

FPM (Aoun) was able to use this as talking point against the LF, for failing to secure Christian representation after they claimed to have the biggest Christian representation and now seated in the government. The beef is all over Twitter

So what exactly happened?

- The general manager was a Christian, he became a Shiite.

- The airport chief was a Christian, he became a Druze.

- The head of the maintenance department is now a Shiite.

- The head of the guidance department is now Shiite.

It's quite funny that despite the results of the war, the loss of Sayyed Hassan, and the high the others felt and their readiness to walk over the carcass of the Shia...this happens.

These are unrelated to Aoun, and done by the Druze minister of Works who is from Joumblat party.

Again, our buddy PM Nawaf Salam is nowhere to be seen, as if he doesn't exist.

See, I'm not very comfortable about the situation and everything feels like a trap. Because it is.

See what's funny, is that FPM and Aoun sabotaged the jobs of Forest rangers because Shia won most (pre-2020) yet the LF is conceding Christians jobs left and right

LF are a narcissist sabotage party, and FPM is one too but more loyal to Lebanon and the Christians.

The Forest Ranger jobs are not part of the 50/50 Christian Muslim quota, and since a majority of Muslims applied then, a majority of Muslims got the jobs. They are not level #1 jobs, not even level #10 lol.

But Aoun and Basil refused to sign the jobs, so people never got their rightfully won jobs. These jobs were applied through a Lebanese state civil work administration and had exams etc.

📸 Talking about PM Nawaf Salam, he was hosting an Iftar.

During it, he mentioned the below:

- The continued Israeli occupation of sites in our south constitutes an assault on our sovereignty and territorial integrity. It also constitutes a violation of Resolution 1701, to which we are fully committed and implementing, and a breach of the cessation of hostilities arrangements approved by the previous government last November.

- In response, we are completing the deployment of our national army, strengthening our cooperation with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), and redoubling our political and diplomatic efforts to mobilize Arab and international support to pressure Israel to complete its withdrawal from the remaining Lebanese territories up to our international borders enshrined in the Armistice Agreement.

- We also have no project that is above the state's restoration of the decision of war and peace, the state that has exclusive control over weapons, and which has a duty to extend its authority over all its lands with its own forces, as stipulated in the Taif Agreement.

🇱🇧 Hezbullah's Deputy Executive Council Chairman, Sheikh Ali Damoush, asserted that the attacks and violations of Lebanon's sovereignty are aimed at pressuring it to accept normalization with Israel.

However, the Lebanese people reject this and will not allow it to happen.

Damoush emphasized that the resistance gives the state the opportunity to fulfill its duties toward its citizens, to protect them and prevent attacks against them, and not to be satisfied with mere superficial positions.

He asked, "If the state is responsible for protecting the homeland, what has it done in the face of the daily Israeli violations? At least convince us of the feasibility of the exclusive possession of weapons by the state."

He concluded by emphasizing that the existence of the occupation means that weapons cannot be restricted to the state alone, emphasizing that defending the homeland is a legitimate right that cannot be relinquished, no matter the sacrifices.

🇱🇧l🇺🇸 A high-level delegation from the US Embassy toured the eastern sector on the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine, accompanied by the commander of the 7th Brigade of the Lebanese Army, Brigadier General Tony Fares, and was briefed on the measures taken by the Lebanese Army in the border towns.

Fun fact:

Do you know that there are senior Lebanese army units and brigades that are paid a monthly salary incentive from the U.S. embassy that is between 600-1000 USD different from their monthly salary from the Lebanese Army?

لم اشتم، بس وصفت حالة.

Vegetable ليست اهانة

بس هي توصيف للإنسان الذي يموت سريراً. و اغلب فلسطينة الداخل و القدس و الضفة، الا القليل القليل، بهذه الحالة من الموت السريري

ثانيا لست بحزب الله، و بذلك حزب الله بريىء مني.

المش برىء انت، انك اتهمت حزب الله عشين منشوري و ساكت على آلاف المناشير و التعليفات عندك التي تطعن حزب الله

حزب الله الذي خسر بهذه الحرب و المقاومة و قدم اغلى ما يقدم، لم يسلم من لسان الكثير

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 The military court sentenced the agent Mohieddine Hasna to 15 years in prison.

All political efforts to secure his release failed.

The security file prepared by the Information Branch was flawless, as the latter, a communications engineer, had provided the enemy with Wi-Fi data in Beirut and its southern suburbs.

He also used advanced equipment to scan all frequencies, allowing him to obtain all technical information related to the cellular network and locate cell phones in Beirut and its southern suburbs.

Investigators considered his actions the greatest breach of Lebanese national security.

The court also sentenced Hadi Awad to 10 years in prison for working with Hasna and being aware of the seriousness of their actions.

In a cell in Ramleh Prison (Israel), Ali Tarhini is nearing the end of his second month of detention.

The young man, in his twenties, is unable to walk or stand, despite the massage he receives from his cellmates, most of whom are members of the Hamas movement.

The Lebanese resident of Jebshit (Nabatiyeh District) was shot by Israeli occupation soldiers while participating in a sit-in by residents of Adaisseh, Rab Thalathin, and Markaba at the entrance to Adaisseh on January 28, 2025.

The bullet entered his back and exited his abdomen. He layed bleeding on the ground for two hours, and the enemy prevented ambulance crews from approaching to save him.

The Israeli occupation forces kidnaped him, wounded, to Ramleh Prison near occupied Jerusalem.

There, he met freed prisoner Hussein Qutaish and Tarhini. They were the only two Lebanese citizens in that prison, as they had been injured together.

Qatish was arrested while bleeding from his left foot after being shot in his hometown of Houla on February 16.

Yesterday was the first time Tarhini's family received messages from him via Qatish. Previously, they hadn't heard anything about him, like the other prisoners.

He is one of several other Lebanese civilians who were kidnaped during the ceasefire.

Later, a number of additional terrorists collected the drone operating equipment and entered a vehicle. The IDF struck the terrorists.
In this attack in Gaza, the IDF murdered 9 unarmed Palestinians, labeling them as terrorists.

The 9 killed were already identified, including their drones as photography drone operators for a local humanitarian NGO

Check here: https://news.1rj.ru/str/abdallah_alattar1999/65745

From those 9 who were murdered criminally, are at least 2 journalists.

Earlier today and almost every day for a few weeks ago, the IDF has been attacking daily with drones and claiming they are targeting units who are planting IEDs.

The death toll of Palestinians ever since the ceasefire started is close to 200.
