- We will provide those whose primary residence was completely demolished $14,000 annually if they live in Beirut and $12,000 for other areas in order to pay rent
๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Hezbullah estimated rent to be 500$ in Beirut and 400$ outside of it, however these numbers are higher than pre-war prices by margins

Unfortunately this is because many people knew that families now need rent, tens of thousands of families whose houses either were destroyed or damaged, and are taking advantage of others.

This is happening both inside Dahyeh from within the same community and outside.

Prices of glass and aluminum is also x3 and x3, taking advantage of the people whose windows got damaged from the Israeli sonic booms and shockwaves.

Mate, go read the situation not my post. If you can't judge beyond that, it's not my fault.

Describing the situation as is, isn't dooming. It's reality. Telling you something fake or giving you false hope for something won't help you.

Neither you nor I am fighting, and those fighting wont be reading here. So what I say or you say have zero impact on what's happening in the real world.

You think I'm happy about the situation? Watching everything collapse because some challenges were too hard to overcome or because the corruption and incompetence of something else?

Of course not, and these events impact us all..close to home. And their repercussions are going to affect all.

I didn't say we are done. I didn't say we are crushed. I never said those words, I only highlighted what the enemy has done and reached.

So yeah, not dooming because I want to affect your morale. There are hundreds of other channels giving morale boosts, I'm counting on them to give you your boost.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ โ€” ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ Syrian Minister of Defense:

โ€“ Today, we are fighting a fierce and ongoing battle with the most brutal terrorist organizations, which are using a guerrilla approach, which forces our armed forces to use appropriate methods in fighting the battles, including advances and retreats, and withdrawals to some defensive points.

โ€“ These terrorist organizations are backed by Turkey and other actors, in terms of logistics, weaponry and planning, which complicates the situation.

โ€“ We are in a good field situation, and our armed forces have worked to redeploy to preserve lives.

โ€“ Military action in the context of battle tactics sometimes requires redeployment.

โ€“ Syria, with its army, people, leadership, and the support of its allies and friends, is capable of overcoming the challenges, no matter how severe or difficult.

โ€“ We confirm that what happened in the city of Hama today is a temporary tactical measure. Our forces are still in the vicinity of the city of Hama and are fully prepared and ready to confront any assault.'

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พl๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง There are various reports that some Lebanese where freed from a prison in Hama, Syria who were there since the Syrian era in Lebanon in the 1980's and 1990's.

However there is no confirmation. This is the only photo, allegedly someone from Al-Ali family.

Syria previously informed Lebanon there is no Lebanese left in prisons.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งl๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Israel starts to relax in the north, seeing progress towards calm and end of the war

After assessing the situation, it was decided in the Northern Command to release from active reserve service all members of the standby squads and settlement protection departments in settlements that are not evacuated (not adjacent to a fence) throughout the North.

They will be released starting next Saturday, 14/12

The ones who will not be released are the commanders and commanders of the standby units in those localities.

No changes yet in the evacuated localities in the north - there is no change in the assessment of the situation, and everyone remains recruited. No setters allowed back.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ This map is circulating on pro-SAA accounts, showing the alleged and unconfirmed encirclement of Hama

SAA-affiliated media claim to have captured the locations shown on this map in the past few hours. So, if their claims are true (a very big IF), the map looks something like this.

I added a part to it, because they just claimed to have captured the town of Khattab as well, completing the encirclement.

๐Ÿ“ฐ The Israeli army takes credit for attacking the northern border crossings between Lebanon and Syria, the ones near Homs and Qusayr.

They were clear that they didn't target any Hezbullah infrastructure nor did they claim foiling any weapon transfer.

They attacked these official border crossings under the pretext that they are "used by Hezbullah to smuggle". Several bridges and roads were also attacked.

As a result, Lebanon announces all the border with Syria is now closed, until further notice.

๐Ÿ“ธ In south Lebanon, the IDF continues to raid and advance in several locations in Naqoura axis, taking advantage of the ceasefire and Hezbullah's abstaining to comply.

The IDF entered new area, found new weapons including some small Burkans, some mortars and some 122mm rockets.

The IDF arrogantly issued a statement as if we are still at war, detailing their findings and boasting.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ The Russian Foreign Ministry reports that a meeting of the โ€œAstana formatโ€ will take place tomorrow against the backdrop of what is happening in Syria.

Too late? Erdogan already announced his support to HTS, hoping they reach Damascus.

Was reading yesterday that whole Syrian army units disappeared. Not killed, not defected... simply not there to fight.

What's worrying is that these convoys are safely passing areas, and had there been minimal resistance their casualties would have been enough to delay their advances.
