🇱🇧 ✈️ The Ethiopian plane landed at Beirut Airport at 1:37 am

According to the "weather and METAR" report issued by the airport, winds were at 7mph and at a direction of 130 °, meaning from southeast to northwest.

Given that it descended at runway 16 and with thrust reverse during the descent this sound would have been excepted.

Written by plane engineer and expert from Twitter: @Alabbass_ayoub
✈️ Thrust reversal, also called reverse thrust, is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's thrust so that it acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration. 

🇪🇹 The plane is going to be airborne again in a few (5 min).
🇱🇧 The sound being heard now in some parts of Dahyeh (and greater Beirut) is from the plane.

Goodnight all.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 I do not think the Iranians' story is inaccurate after all. We are in 2020 – not 1980.

Swap the Ford truck with a blue Nissan truck and it's all set up.

Nasrallah said twice in the last few months that he did not target vehicles on the border because IDF is using automated ones; stating he does not aim for material damage.
The IDF has that technology. The weapons and components could be purchased from Iran's black market or smuggled into Iran from Kurdistan.

🇱🇧🇮🇷 Grand Ayatollah Taqi Misbah Yazdi (b.1934) is in a very serious condition after contracting COVID-19.

During one of his visits to Lebanon he is known to have said: "We get closer to God by loving S. Nasrallah. If only I had the chance to kiss his hand [out of respect]".
The meeting of the Council of the Central Bank has been postponed from Wednesday to Thursday, in line with the meeting of the joint parliamentary committees on Wednesday, in order to gain political cover for the bank's decision to lift the subsidy. The blocs are divided between lifting or maintaining support.

It seems that "rationalizing support" is what will be decided.
