However the reality of what happened according to locals:

A military vehicle (IDF) arrived in a hurry opposite the technical fence south of the "Al-Manara" settlement, and its members fired exactly 3 shots in the air to terrorize two people who were on the Lebanese side from Mays Al-Jabal and not in the direction of the fence.

The Zionist army issued a heroic statement announcing that it had thwarted an infiltration attempt across the border in Person.

🚨 News regarding the Lebanese army and the USA influence in it:

Less than a month away from today, the army's intelligence chief, Brigadier General Tony Mansour, is referred to retirement. So far, the Armed Forces Commander, General Joseph Aoun, has not given up on the idea. He is demanding the extension of Mansour, in any legal form possible (summons from the reserve, postponement of dismissal ...). The effort of the Army Commander and the Director of Intelligence collides with the refusal of the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, for an extension, for three reasons: (Part 1)
The first is that he is against the extension of the security and military jobs.

Second, there is no need to extend it for Mansour, in light of the presence of other officers who are able to take over the Intelligence Directorate. Any extension means manipulating the military hierarchy.

The third is that the extension of Mansour himself is not desirable, politically, for what Aounists see as a "coup" from him against the political team that sponsored his arrival to the Intelligence Directorate, regardless of the accuracy of this reading. (Part 2)
In all cases, the army commander needs, legally, to be signed by the Minister of Defense for the extension decision, and to the opinion of the President. The "leader" is feeling in a good position on the basis of the unlimited American support for Mansour.

The support comes from two American sides that sponsor the "current era" in the army: the Central Command in the American army and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

During the era of the duo Joseph Aoun-Tony Mansour, the American influence in the military establishment reached a level it had never reached. (Part 3)
- Donations reach the army without going through the Council of Ministers.

- On the eastern and northern borders, Parsons is implementing a very dangerous project, without the knowledge of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Defense (see “Al-Akhbar” on March 20, 2020 and April 15, 2020) - and it is a project that the United States of America wants to implement in the interest of the Israeli enemy.

- The military establishment cooperates with the United States of America, without any agreement approved by the House of Representatives.

The plagued relationship between the army and the United States of America granted the American Ambassador Dorothy Shea the rudeness that allowed her to contact Brigadier General Bassam Yassin, the head of the Lebanese delegation in the border demarcation negotiations in Naqoura, before the start of the negotiation process, to dictate to him orders that direct negotiations should be conducted, and that a photo must be taken with the delegation of the Israeli enemy. Yassin refused the orders, but no one protested what happened, even though the head of the delegation informed his leader of the matter. The ambassador was not expelled from Lebanon, she was not reprimanded, and no one told her that what she had done was a sin that she would not even dare commit with the officers of her country's army.

The problem is that the issue of whether to extend Mansour or not is being discussed today as an administrative, military, security, and political matter. But no one has approached it in terms of the US influence in the army, and the need to "vaccinate" the military against the epidemic that is killing it.

Unfortunately, Mansour is one of the symbols of this plagued relationship between the Lebanese army on the one hand, and the US army and the CIA on the other side. Failure to extend it should be a door to restoring balance to this relationship. (END)
