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

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.
Going to drop my last tweet about this.

Bachir Al Gemayil was a CIA asset worth a mere $10 million dollars.

Don't ask me how do I know, just go read the declassified CIA reports from the 1970's and 1980's.
They literally called him an asset.

from Woodward's book interviewing the late CIA director William Casey.

Note: 10 million back then, is 30 million in today's USD.
A number of pharmacies in the Lebanese regions have closed their doors due to running out of essential medicine(s), as drug companies and agents are not delivering them. https://t.co/rCmWvnFMyf
The fire has renewed in the Al-Shaqdouf-Akkar Al-Atika area in northern Lebanon, and the people are calling on the civil defense and the army to intervene quickly to extinguish it.
Bodies of 7 IRGC servicemen killed in Syria have been repatriated to Iran. State media says, the bodies were found in Khan Tuman, Aleppo and have been IDed using DNA tests.

Several Hezbullah members were lost with those 7, and now it's very likely they will be returned home. https://t.co/5YBJMVImAs
The head of the High Relief Commission, Major General Muhammad Khair, admitted that there are "many difficulties facing the organization in its mission, due to the decline in its ability to deal with the successive disasters in the country, or due to the lack of funding." https://t.co/9Yl7RlmSCg
He pointed out that the commission "was mainly dependent on the aid that came from the Gulf countries and friendly Western countries, but unfortunately, this aid was absent from state institutions, and it is now provided to NGOs, which complicates the tasks of the commission."
And with the money being with NGOs, they can't track how it's spent or even if the aid and help is being delivered to those in need.
Ministry of interior: The second part of the lockdown will involve the following villages and cities starting from 6 a.m. on Monday 10/12/2020 until 6 a.m. on Monday 19/19 10/2020. https://t.co/qJzJwXVFDO
Al Naqoura Municipality was surprised why it will be under lockdown knowing that no COVID-19 case was recorded in the village as all cases are at the UNIFIL HQ there.

The municipality demanded the closure of the UNIFIL HQ only.
