I was today's old when I Iearned:

"Israeli submarine mistakenly striked a Lebanese refugee ship at the first Lebanon war in 1982, killing 25 people. It had been a military secret, but channel 10 won a lawsuit and was allowed to publish it in 2018."

UAE was safe in the majority of its aggression campaign on Yemen.

But then UAE decided to cross several redlines, including mass casualty airstrikes.

The question is: Is UAE ready to lose its perk of being a safe country for tourism & investment in order to continue its proxy war? twitter.com/allushiii_new…

⋯ According to reports yesterday, two Yemeni ballistic missiles reached the UAE in an attempt to target the Ministry of Defense. Both were intercepted.

(Alleged video of UAE air defense systems in action.)

⋯ Hezi Semantov - Hebrew Channel 13

"The "routine firing of missiles and drones" from Yemen would be a severe blow to the UAE's economy, which depends on tourism and aviation in light of undoubted stability and security."

🚨Saad Hariri just announced that he will not run for parliamentary elections, and that no candidates will be named by his party, Future Movement.

⋯ In simple terms, Hariri was ordered by KSA and UAE to step away from politics and stick to business.

Sunni votes to Saad Al-Hariri will now be directed to other notable Sunni political parties like Najib Mikati's.

A sizeable number will go to the Lebanese Forces.

In Akkar, the Touch cellular network has been down for a few days, many people cannot receive or call people, nor use mobile data.

⋯ Similar situation in Tariq Al-Jadida (Beirut), however concerning landlines and internet, because the main OGERO stations have been vandalized and stolen.

MTV Information: Bahia Hariri will not run for the parliamentary seat in Sidon, as usual.

Jerusalem: A new episode of Israel's ongoing ethnic cleansing...

Israeli occupation forces have forcibly emptied the home of the Karama family, in the neighborhood of Al-Tour (on the occupied East Jerusalem's Mount of Olives), ahead of its imminent demolition. The home owners, who are thrown out to the street, are now removing their belongings.

The annual evaluation by the Zionist National Security Institute:

"Despite all the pressures, Hezbullah will maintain its political, economic, and military status."

Hebrew media: Israeli President Herzog will arrive in Abu Dhabi on Sunday for a first-ever official visit to the UAE by an Israeli president.

"The liberation of Palestine begins with the liberation of Egypt."

Before and after (photo).

The house was demolished today. The Karama family said they never received a demolition order nor an eviction order, as the Israeli soldiers suddenly surrounded their home and demolished it.

Over 280 Palestinians in Jerusalem's Al-Tour neighborhood are threatened with forced displacement and house demolition, under the pretext of illegal building. It is part of the project of the ‘American Road’, one of Israel's largest project in the city aimed to confiscate 45 ⁠dunums of Al-Tour [45,000 ⁠m²]. At the same time, the occupation authorities have been building tens of thousands of housing units for Jews since the 1980s, approving yet again on 18 ⁠January 2022 a plan for 1,465 new units in East Jerusalem.

Electricity outage in the Ministry of Energy moments before signing two agreements to draw electricity from Jordan through Syria to Lebanon.

⋯ Honest question: Back before 2019, many areas in Beirut used to get 21/24 hours of electricity while Dahyeh, Tripoli, South, and Beqaa, used to get 12/24 at max.

Will the new imported electricity be distributed fairly?

After Saad Hariri announced that he, and his party(FM) will not be a part of the next parliamentary elections, the Lebanese Forces are reportedly focusing their electoral campaign on FM supporters in order to gain their votes.
