Maher al-Akhras, 49, began his hunger strike 73 days ago after he was arrested and placed into administrative detention in late July.

Administrative detention is a policy that allows Israel to detain suspects without filing charges, with multiple extensions. https://t.co/vjaqVOPA8h
More than 20 Israeli anti personal mines exploded after the fire reached the IDF military outposts in the occupied areas.

We should start doing this in Lebanon and get some extra $$$$ to help with our economic problems. LOL
The possibility of Saad Al Hariri becoming PM is very high.

Hariri is part of the corrupt class whose bank made in 2016 half a million dollars in the Central Bank "financial reengineering" scheme, but Lebanon needs unity between its political parties to overcome the collapse. https://t.co/0ZnHSUefJX
Hezbullah and Amal have been fine with him coming back since he resigned in 2019. They know no PM can become a PM without his consent and prefer to deal with the master and not his pawns.

Walid Jomblat's party is likely to come around and he's been willing to accept anything.
Lebanese Forces won't name him although they are "allies".

FPM is unsure as Gebran Basil and Saad Al Hariri are not on good terms.
Exemption of a ship carrying 5,500 tons of braided iron for construction of the US Embassy, ??from customs duties, and from TVA fees.

The ship LIyas Konan was exempted from 1,000,000,000 LL fees.

That's a lot of much needed money in fresh dollars lost in corruption. https://t.co/FgVj4KhzP7
USA embassy website: The multi-building compound will be located in the suburb of Awkar, adjacent to the current Embassy, on a 43-acre site. The compound will provide a safe, secure, sustainable, and modern platform that supports. https://t.co/bUu2Z79ywk
It's just 174,014.826 meters square, just a normal building to issue visas and house the ambassador.

Totally not the empire's new base in Lebanon.

It's just the size of 32 football Fields. https://t.co/ElpP7YE2qn
Just FYI everyone, these two Lebanese just reported my account through a thread I wrote few months ago about the 1996 Ansariyeh ambush that killed 13 elite IDF sheyetet soldiers.

The post wasn't reported then even by Israelis, did I struck a nerve in these few clowns? https://twitter.com/SarahAM___/status/1315069071147372545
Of course they are pro Lebanese Forces. Did I expect anything from the supporters of an Israeli backed and trained militia that was the main belligerent in the civil war and the one with the longest history in war crimes and genocide

A thread about Israel is a thread about them.
