📑 As a follow-up to yesterday's truck event, the Lebanese army seized more than 300 handguns.

According to investigation, a Turkish truck reached the port of Tripoli (north Lebanon), and successfully exited customs undetected. This raises a lot of alerts.

It was only exposed when a fire onboard took place, and the handguns fell out of it.

Reportedly it was destined to a Palestinian.

The bases are mostly evacuated and well fortified.

🔴 Israel seizes AP equipment, takes down live broadcast of northern Gaza

Israeli Communications Ministry officials have seized the equipment of the Associated Press (AP) at their location in Sderot on Tuesday afternoon. They handed the AP a piece of paper, signed the minister Shlomo Karhi.

Karhi accuses the AP of violating a new media law by providing images to Al-Jazeera - a channel among thousands of clients that receive live video feeds from the AP and other news organizations. The AP has denounced the move. (AP)

Al-Jazeera has been banned in Israel since May 5. Its office was raided, all its equipment was seized. Freelance journalists suspected of working for it can also be arrested.

Egypt and Israel have banned foreign journalists from entering Gaza, which obstructs the press coverage of the situation in Gaza.

Jumblatt: The war is in its beginnings and will continue

Former leader of the Druze-majority PSP party Walid Jumblatt considers that “the war is only in its beginnings and will continue until the end of the year and perhaps even beyond it, even after the American elections”, he said at a meeting with the Lebanese community in Doha. “American and non-American presidents do not care about Palestine or southern Lebanon.”

Jumblatt added: “The ambassador asked me, ‘Where are we headed?’. It is a difficult question to answer accurately today, but let us all follow the tremendous and strenuous efforts that [Parliament Speaker] Nabih Berri is making with regard to trying to separate the paths between Lebanon and Gaza, in order to avoid more destruction, devastation, displacement and assassinations in the south of Lebanon, because some in Lebanon seem to have forgotten that there is a south to Lebanon - and where the Israeli leadership will go, it is to more wars.”

📹 Last week, Israeli soldiers filmed themselves drawing a huge Star of David over destroyed homes and corpses with their bulldozers. Is this part of any military strategy? - Israel is the “Jewish ISIS”, observers have commented.

📷An Israeli airstrike is reported in Aita al-Shaab

📷 In addition to airstrikes in Yareen, Yaroun, and Maroun al-Ras.

📹 Video of an Israeli soldier burning a Qur'an in a mosque they destroyed in Gaza

This is the conduct of Jewish warfare and this is the Israeli state that's backed by the democratic West.

There is a lot of such footage online, however we are rarely covering it here, as I'm focusing on Lebanon only on purpose. Make sure to follow the like of Younis Tirawi on X.

📹 Hezbullah released footage of their attacks today on Rwaysat al Qarn base and its garrison.

The base caught on fire.

⚠️ From now until Monday, the IDF closes the Mount Meron area to prevent civilians from arriving there.

“The Home Front Command makes it clear that entry into the Meron area is strictly prohibited, and endangers public safety.”

Tens of thousands of Jews were expected on the mountain on the occasion of Lag Baomer, to celebrate and visit the grave of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, who famously said: “Kill the best of Goyim” (Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin 4.11.7). This is a school holiday in Israel.

📝 The upcoming escalation in Lebanon and the expansion of the area of operations is what led to this decision.

⚠️ Sirens in Dafna and south of Yuval settlements.
