This area included many Hezbullah infrastructure, including the largest known tunnel (length: 3,500 m) dug for this purpose of transporting weapons from Syria to Lebanon.

It's located 3.7 km S. of Haweek. Its entrance was destroyed by Israel during the war.
Remember this?

The IDF announced attacking it again, confirming they already did in the war but again now to avoid its possible reestablishment in the future.

Which we all know isn't possible with the current Syria.

They also announced attacking weapon and storage facilities which they claim are "a threat to Israel"

And that they are committed to not allowing Hezbullah to build up again.

...Hamas announces the delay of the prisoner exchange deal this Saturday until Israel completes its part.

This wasn't a sudden move. Israel was aware and this is why there was a delegation in Qatar to bridge the gaps.

What did Israel do wrong?
- Out of 12,000 aid trucks, only 8,500 entered Gaza
- out of 50 fuel trucks daily, only 15 entered Gaza
- Out of 200,000 tents, only 20,000 arrived in Gaza

What did Israelis call for? More death in Gaza, more destruction, more bloodshed, more genocide, more exodus, more evil

๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ’ต Gold in US dollar terms is over $2900.

๐Ÿฅ‡ First time in history.

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ Gold prices jumped more than 1% on Monday to hit a record high, as safe-haven demand surged on fears of a global trade war after U.S. President Donald Trump announced new tariff plans.

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ Trump announced on Sunday plans to impose an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminium imports. He also said he will announce reciprocal tariffs this week, matching rates imposed by other countries and applying them immediately.

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ Elsewhere, the amount of gold stored in the London vaults fell 1.7% month on month to 8,535 metric tons worth $771.6 billion in January due to a rush in shipments to the United States, the London Bullion Market Association said.

๐Ÿ’ฐ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ A Chinese pilot program to allow insurers to buy gold for the first time will allow billions of dollars of extra investment in the precious metal, adding further impetus to a record-setting rally

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ Ten insurance firms โ€” including PICC Property & Casualty Co. and China Life Insurance Co., two of Chinaโ€™s biggest โ€” will be able to invest as much as 1% of their assets in bullion, in a program that became effective last Friday. That would translate into a potential 200 billion yuan ($27.4 billion) of funds, Minsheng Securities Co. said in a note.

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ Gold has been one of the strongest performing commodities of the new year, as well as in 2024, with the metal hitting successive records. That extended uplift has been powered by the US Federal Reserve cutting rates, and central-bank buying, including purchases from China. Donald Trumpโ€™s second term as US president has also added an extra driver, with traders scrambling to adjust to his disruptive moves on trade.

๐Ÿ”ถ๏ธ The policy tweak makes gold the first commodity that Chinese insurers have been explicitly permitted to invest in. China has restricted insurance funds from taking positions in assets without โ€œstable cash returns,โ€ and limits the amount they can put into bonds and stocks.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑl๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Channel 12 Israel, citing sources: Netanyahu asked Trump to postpone the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon until after February 18

โœ Btw do note, that the people's sacrifice on 26-Jan and the towns they liberated ensured that the IDF couldn't anymore send large forces deeper into Lebanon or to new areas.

Notice how no new incursions in the past week?

We'll see what happens by 18-Feb. Give everything time and understand the stakes

US envoy in Beirut today said Trump admin was committed to the Israeli withdrawal by Feb. 18.

She retweeted this announcement on her Twitter account (her account is literally a pro-israel fangirl one). However, she un-retweeted it.

She shared this instead about the Lebanese army deployment: https://x.com/LebarmyOfficial/status/1888576743268814869
