๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งl๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ Rocket artillery from Lebanon towards the Syrian army.

Let's be clear, there is no resistance inside the Syrian towns, no clashes there with the Lebanese although these towns had a decades old Lebanese presence because of marriage and trade.

The Syrian aggression is targeting Lebanese towns, and this is where clashes are ongoing from a far.

So far, there are some Syrians who were deported to the grave. Only few Lebanese injuries reported so far.

The Syrians are capable, so don't underestimate them.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งl๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡พ President Aoun called Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa to congratulate him and they agreed to coordinate to control the situation on the Lebanese-Syrian border and prevent targeting civilians.

This is the second time such calls take place. This won't solve it snd the Syrians will aggress again.

There should be a suitable Lebanese Syrian dialogue to end this and mark the area and coordinate, else, the Lebanese army should play its role.

Because if they aren't suitable for southern borders or eastern borders, what is there role?

No let me say more, so you know that Israel spent a budget that is more than Iran, Syria, Hezbullah and Hamas budget in the past 40 years combined?

This is one the highest death tolls reported during the ceasefire.

This is the 3 such recent attack on Janta, second to cause martyrs.

Man such news is painful and is flashbacks of the war, waiting to wake up to see what bad things happened.

The agreement is clear, the ceasefire is clear, the Israeli continue to step on all red lines.

Who kills 6-8 during a ceasefire, at a site so far and doesn't pose a threat during a ceasefire after a war ended. How is this acceptable.

3 days, 3 consecutive attacks on Lebanon.

What will happen to the kids and teens who will go to the this north each spring and summer.

Anyways, as Hezbullah used to say that each piece of knowledge and weapon was paid by blood to get, today we are seeing this in real time.

These heros will continue to sacrifice, until the conditions are restored and leverage is available again.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งl๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Parliament speaker Berri met today the U.S envoy Oretgas, and ks quoted saying:

- Israel is an absolute evil and its continued occupation of our lands requires resistance

- Your administration, as a guarantor of the agreement, must oblige "Israel" to implement it fully

- The US administration must oblige "Israel" to implement the provisions of UN Resolution 1701, most notably withdrawal from all Lebanese national territory
๐Ÿซก83๐Ÿ‘26๐Ÿ‘Ž14๐Ÿคฌ1๐Ÿ‘€1
Let's be very clear:

- They wanted to exclude Amal and Hezbullah from the government? They failed.

- They wanted to exclude the Shia from the ministry of Finance? Failed

- They wanted to not allow Amal to name the 5th Shia minister? They failed.

And as usual, Hezbullah got only 2 ministers and Amal got 3 as they always had agreed, despite Hezbullah being the bigger party.

Yes, there were compromises. Yes, the situation isn't optional. Yes, we are under grave grave threats.

But that's a challenge that passed in one of the harshest conditions and we passed. Berri yet again proved his loyalty to Hezbullah on side and his loyalty to the rights of the Shia community now and in the future.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ง Regarding the government, it is unfortunate that FPM wasn't presented.

Gebran Basil might not be the best friend, and his party has been very disrespectful to Hezbullah that they looked no different that the LF.

However he's a person who would not sell Lebanon to the West nor accept Israel or the West to attack Lebanon or do their bidding in Lebanon.

LF betrayed him as expected, took the Christians seats that they wanted directly and indirectly, accepted the Finance ministry for Amal, and literally everything they demanded happened the opposite of.

The Lebanese sectarian system was made to self-sabotage itself that's why unless FPM works with Hezbullah and stays a relevant part after the next elections, and cooperate with Amal and Sunni allies....the other side will always painfully sabotage.

"We refused to be subjected to the same humiliation that was practiced on the Lebanese Forces Party." - Gebran
