Syria: The Israeli enemy army attacked at midnight a few unmanned Syrian Army observation points in Quneitra.

Then, early today, flyers were dropped over the area threatening the army and the locals from working with Hezbullah.
⋯ The Hezbullah figure commanding the force there is allegedly the son of Haj Hashem.

Haj Hashem was Hezbullah's liaison to the Iraqi resistance during the USA-occupation era in Iraq, who was later on captured by USA forces and freed in 2011.
Hezbullah, through Al-Amanah Fuel Company, continued to distribute the donation of diesel to humanitarian institutions and water wells in Sidon and neighboring towns.

The distribution included 37 towns, benefiting 56 water wells.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati left Beirut this morning for Iraq on an official visit for several hours, during which he will meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

He will be accompanied by Director-General of Public Security, Major General Abbas Ibrahim.
Al-Jadeed published a photo of the Lebanese army intelligence document in which they summon the head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, to the investigation branch at the Ministry of Defense in Yarzeh, to hear his testimony regarding the Tayouneh ambush.
The blue line on the border unfairly took from Lebanon several olive fields and placed them in Israeli territory. Despite that, evey year Lebanese would cross the line into their fields and harvest.

The IDF "gesture" to allow the Lebanese into their lands means nothing.
“Blue Flag” exercise in Israel: The commander of the Emirati Air Force (UAE) Ibrahim Al-Alawi met with his Israeli counterpart, war criminal Amikam Norkin.

This is the first official visit by an Emirati commander. While the Israeli Air Force since the 1950s has killed tens of thousands of civilians from Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and even Tunisia, the Emirati Air Force is responsible for the death of hundreds, or thousands, of Yemenis since 2015.
All media & journalists in Israel are forced by law to follow strict narratives set by the establishment.

They do no do investigative work nor do they release any information if not approved by the security establishment or distributed at the establishment's orders.
⋯ Israel considers the media as a battleground and the journalists as its soldiers.

The story about Iran's air defense interception in Quneitra is likely but an Israeli narrative fed to the nations training now with it at the "Blue Flag" drill to justify its aggression on Syria. Israel needs acceptance.
Tayoneh Ambush: Several videos are circulating on social media of alleged footage from Tayouneh ambush and what preceded, however, ALL the videos belong to an old scuffle that occurred more than a year ago, in a different street in that area.

Near the last Lebanese olive tree in Blida, where the owners are harvesting beyond the blue line without waiting for a favor or permission from anyone.

⋯ Photo: The gate the IDF said they will allow the Lebanese to use to cross!

The gate was destroyed by Lebanese farmers 6 years ago.
