📄 Reminder - Historical stories

August 18, 1997, an explosive device was detonated on the Kfarhouna-Jezzine road, killing Jean Asaad Nasr (16 years old) and his sister Rima (12 years old) from Aishiyeh, the two sons of the Lahd official Asaad Nasr, who was assassinated by the Islamic Resistance in 1994.

The Lahd militia responded by randomly shelling Saida from Jezzine, which led to a terrible massacre.

Hezbullah denied responsibility for planting the device and accused the occupation forces and Lahd of inciting strife by planting mobile bombs.

On August 21, an explosive device detonated in a truck on the Jezzine road, killing Kamal Abu Mahdi from the Chouf town of Bater. A Druze.

Hezbullah issued a new statement denying responsibility for planting the device, holding the occupation army fully responsible for the aim of creating sectarian strife. This was followed by another bomb targeting a Druze cleric.

🇮🇱 On October 15, 1997, Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Israeli Engineering Corps had revealed the formation of a special task force, "Yahalom," that had been operating intensively in Lebanon for months in offensive bombing activities.

It should also be noted that Netanyahu was then serving as Prime Minister.

Hebrew media says this isn't the response to the incident in Majdal Shams.

That will be determined in a security cabinet meeting later today when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returns from abroad.

In general, any IDF operation that may lead to war or a significant escalation, requires approval from the political echelon.

📹 Aftermath of yesterday's attack in Burj Al-Shemali in Tyre district.

📹 The aftermath of the attack on Al-Abasieh area that destroyed a factory that manufactures purses. Extensive damages. No casualties.

📹 Tayr Hafa as a result of yesterday's attack. A lot and extensive damages. No casualties.

📹 In the funeral of the dead in Majdal Shams, a suspected Druze soldier shouts at the Likud ministers.

"He says you abandoned us here for 9 months. When Tel Aviv was attacked, you attacked Yemen. Why is Beirut not attacked yet."

📹 On the other hand, locals in Majdal Shams demanded the immediate retreat of many Israeli ministers, including Smotrich.

They asked them to leave in Hebrew, then told another Druze who told them to calm down, that Smotrich didn't respect these mourning hours, implying he's here for politics.

🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is currently landing at Ben Gurion Airport, on his return from Washington.

Straight from the airport he will travel with his entourage to the Kriya (IDF HQ) to continue the discussions, at 16:00 the cabinet meeting will convene.

There and then, he will convey the retaliation plans in the wake of the discussions.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi is currently holding an assessment and approving plans for Lebanon, the military says.

The meeting is attended by the deputy chief of staff and the chiefs of the Northern Command, Military Intelligence Directorate, Operations Directorate, Air Force, and other generals.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant says Hezbollah will face the consequences of its deadly attack on Majdal Shams yesterday "even with its ridiculous denials."

📹 Lebanon: The spiritual authority of the Druze monotheist sect, Sheikh Abu Youssef Amin Al-Sayegh, issued a video message in the wake of the tragic incident in Majdal Shams.

He calls on the Druze to be alert to attempts to “plant sedition” and “separate them from their surroundings,” and to “not allow those with temptations (the Jews ) to exploit this wound.”

📸 The person in this video who's trying to incite a regional war, in the wake of the Majdal Shams incident yesterday, is NOT from Majdal Shams and is NOT a Golani Druze.

He is an Israeli Druze from Daliyat al-Karmel who writes for a Karmel Druze news website. All over Israeli media he's portrayed as a local demanding war.
