❗️The Lebanese army and airport security have so far delayed an incoming Lebanese trip from Iraq for about 45 minutes and ongoing.

Bags are going through extensive searches both through additional scanners and manual searches.

No other planes are under such scrutiny

At Sayyed Hassan's funeral I was worried so many people went to say a final goodbye

But today's elections reminded us again that this nation doesn't give up easily

Despite the massive losses, the setbacks and the incidents today...the people voted clearly in support of Hezbullah and Amal.

So far, aside from the two dozen towns that won without the need for an election, Hezbullah and Amal seem to have secured major wins in Baalbek and Beqaa

Despite the Shia being a minority in Beirut, they won all 3 allocated seats and got most votes by candidate.

Hezbullah in Beirut supported a unity list that included Christians, allowing for a 50/50 Muslim Christian council

At least 35 towns in south Lebanon have accepted Hezbullah-Amal unconditionally and so far no elections will be held in those towns next week for the municipality.

A choice to showcase confidence. More towns might join and this is causing annoyance to the Lebanese PM and foreigners who wanted Hezbullah to lose some Shia representation in Beqaa and South Lebanon.

And about Christians in Lebanon, I'm not pro 50/50 at all. It's taking the rights of others and underrepresenting the Shia.

Regardless, about Christians.

It's high time Gebran understand the threat of the Lebanese Forces party and ally again with Hezbullah and Amal to secure better representation and at the same time help balance the political sphere.

His attempts in the past years to become a vannila version of a far right party and mimic a light version of the LF ideology isn't going to win him the Christians.

His backstabbing of Hezbullah was very unfortunate, but Hezbullah doesn't hold a grudge and won't refuse to cooperate again

🇱🇧l🇮🇱 While the Lebanese president is busy between Rome and Egypt and the Lebanese PM is busy inviting people to watch a show at a theatre in Beirut...

...so far today the Jews have attacked Lebanon multiple times in light of complete silence from the state, the UN, and the ceasefire committee.

- A drone dropped a bomblet on a house in Duhayra damaging it

- One was shot and injured in his shoulder in Kfarkila

- One was killed in a drone strike on the courtyard of his house in Hula town

- Two were injured in Sarbeen town, one driving a motorcycle and the other driving an agricultural tractor

Needless to say, the Lebanese army didn't report these attacks and did jack shit.

🇱🇧l🇸🇾 A circular from Beirut Airport to Syrian travelers heading to Syria via the airport: No entry to Lebanon without a valid residency permit for more than 6 months... or return on the same plane!

Start deporting who we have except those with valid visa/Iqama or are facing a risk to their lives (Christians, Shia, Alawite, some Sunnis)

🗓 12th anniversary of the Battle of Qusayr

Today, 19 ⁠May, marks Hezbullah's first offensive operation in what is known as the Battle of Qusayr, Syria, in 2013.

A battle that reshaped the Syrian war in favor of the state verses the terrorists and which lated materialized a swooping victory for Syria.

Before... before all suddenly collapsed.

⋯ The operation started at dawn, after liberating the countryside.

It was carried to deny the terrorists a safe heaven near the Lebanese border, and halt the weapon flow from Lebanon to Syria.

The war was covered in Hezbullah's documentary “The secrets of the Second Liberation” (أسرار التحرير الثاني).

It's needless to say how bad the situation in Gaza is. It's just too bad no one can describe how bad enough it is.

What makes it more painful? Is the traitorous behavior of the so called Arabs and Muslims of Asia and Africa.

Scum of the scum

🇮🇱l🇲🇦 Sayeret Golani — the very same unit responsible for the massacre of 15 paramedics, UN workers, and rescue personnel just two months ago in Rafah— is now in Agadir, Morocco.

Out of all the IDF units, Morocco chose to host them. Not only have they faced no consequences, but they’re being welcomed.

It’s an outrage. It’s a disgrace. This is a slap in the face to justice and to every victim. Shame - by Younis Tirawi

The Jews are participating in a military drill.

Barely weeks from when Gulf Arabs participated in an air force drill with them in Europe

And FYI, the Jews allowed only 5 aid trucks to enter Gaza today. 5!

Gaza needs 500 a day for 2,000,000 people to eat enough food.

And the Jews were very clear. We are only sending some aid because the world won't let us to kill them from hunger.

Smotrich said at a press conference:

"We will not allow any aid to Hamas. What was is not what will be. We are destroying everything that remains of the Gaza Strip, and in the future this will lead to the destruction of Hamas and the return of the abductees."

He adds: "The population will move to the southern Gaza Strip, and from there to other countries."

He continuea: "I understand the anger, but if we continue this way (starving people), the world will force us to stop the war. It is impossible not to give the leadership a small margin of maneuver."

And concludes: "We will occupy the Strip, and we will have to carry out humanitarian efforts. There will be nothing to look for there in 20 years."

He then called on Netanyahu to "take responsibility, show leadership, and speak to the public."

Smotrich then implicitly criticized Ben-Gvir's behavior, saying, "No one in the world will allow us to starve two million people."

As Lebanese Shia (exclusively), we did everything we could. We gave everything and we lost everything.

This is what we could offer.

I am guilt free, and so are the Shia in front of God on judgment day.

But curse curse curse, on those who didn't act, didn't care, didn't do anything.

And more curses on those who helped and aided the Jews

For God's sake, are you seeing what's happening!? The death, the destruction, the hunger, the demolition, the exodus.

Saw a video from Ansar in south Lebanon about few youth saying they insist on the elections because they want Ansar to get change.

Therefore they won't accept the Hezb-Amal unity list

They talked a lot and tbh the only thing that was respectable was the talk about the waste management issue.

But who said we want non-Hijabi Muslim girls to become officials to bring to Ansar more art, music, festivals and whatever? Who has these as his priorities?

Pathetic.

🥀 Martyr Issa Qutaish was murdered in Hula.

He was active on social media yesterday: https://x.com/issakteish01

Issa was at Sayyed's funeral.

See I don't know how the IDF knew he was a Ridwan member.

They either:
- Have the Ridwan force roster
- Someone posted Issa's photos from the funeral when the mask was off
- The IDF had info on all locals on the border town in Hula and Issa was killed when he went back home

And yes, several retards posted on social media footage of these people at the funeral without them noticing when masks were off
