IDF is shooting bursts of bullets into the fields on the border.

Details in one minute.

An enemy Drone penetrated 600 meters into the Lebanese airspace in the vicinity of the “Al-Abbad” site, east of the town of Hula, in southern Lebanon.

Note: IDF is using such drone to check the area instead of soldiers to avoid being fired at.

Anxiety pushed the enemy to fir bursts from time to time from the "Dahr al-Jamal" outpost in front of the town Ramiya, aiming at its surroundings inside the occupied area.

A letter was found with a corpse recovered in front of Zouk thermal power plant:

"Save us, we are cut off in the sea in eastern Cyprus, thank you very much. There is no water or food."

Several bodies were found on the coast of those killed in smuggling boats.

Sources revealed that in the investigations into the file of illegal immigration and maritime smuggling between Lebanon and Cyprus, "Burhan Qatrib" was arrested. He admitted that he charged 5 million LBP per passenger, and the number of travelers on the boat reached 45, but however he denied the ownership of the boat. He claimed that his brother-in-law is responsible.

The issue today with the government formation is whether Hezbullah should be represented by any minister.

You can notice, unlike all the previous times, no party is asking for anything. No party is demanding anything, it's just Hezbullah and Amal this time speaking...why?

I mentioned earlier in my threads that the USA has effectively veto-ed Hezbullah's presence in the government and threatened to sanction anyone that will work with them.

- That's why all parties are satisfied with what they got. Especially at a time when Lebanon is not sustainable anymore.

- USA has no issue with Amal being represented in the government, its main issue is with Hezbullah. Yet, Amal won't support USA in isolating Hezbullah politically. What comes next makes Hezbullah uncomfortable: if it is successfully isolated from the political life (government), despite having got most votes in the elections, no one can forecast what will be enforced on Lebanon by the USA :

If the USA is able to isolate the strongest party, the USA can easily ask the government anything.

What could go wrong?

- Just recently, the USA demanded the transitional government to sit with Israel to negotiate the border dispute. Trump wants to be seen as the man who made Lebanon and Israel sit together and negotiate, after 30 years of no direct talks.

- Hezbullah fears that without its presence in the government, USA could reenact what happened in 2008, after Hezbullah (and Amal) resigned. Back then, the government was spearheaded by PM Foad and Jumblatt. At USA orders, as Jumblatt said, and as a revenge for the 2006 July War, the government ordered to confiscate Hezbullah's communication network. This network was targeted by Israel, and seen as what kept Hezbullah able to act during the war.

Why is the ministry of finance requested?

- Because it's the "third signature" next to the President and the PM. After the Taef Agreement, the ministry was given to the Shia sect (represented today by Hezbullah and Amal). At some point, it was given to Hariri as a compromise to the Syrians by Nabih Berri.

- Getting the "third signature" is to ensure no one can isolate the Shiites.

Can we get a non-sectarian system?

- The demands of X seat and X position will remain, as long as the system itself is built like this. A non-sectarian system is the only way to end this freak show.

- Opponents of Hezbullah insist that Hezbullah must give up its weapons for a non-sectarian system to exist. There is no institutional correlation, and Hezbullah isn't using the weapons internally to pressure anyone. It would put Hezbullah's and Amal's wide public support at play.

These are betting that no weapons = Hezbullah getting crushed by Israel = No more Hezb.

- Ask most supporters of other parties, especially Kataeb or Lebanese Forces. They're often against an election with Lebanon as one constituency, a proportional representation, and the end of the religious distribution of seats. Indeed, it would mean the end of some parties and of the power of others.

Lebanon needs urgent aid, and what led to this situation is the corruption of the political parties and the criminal negligence of all

These parties are the ones responsible for putting Lebanon in this situation and getting blackmailed by the USA. No aid before confronting Hezb.

Is the USA now attacking the Vatican too?

How low can this adminstration go? https://t.co/adn58C3lxK
