#HappeningNow in #Lebanon
An armed Dutch group in the suburb of Beirut!

The Lebanese authorities in the southern suburb of Beirut arrested an armed group, all of whose members held Dutch citizenship. The arrest took place the day before yesterday, in a “security sensitive” area in the suburbs of Beirut "Dahyeh" and the detainees were handed over to Lebanese Army Intelligence the next day.
The armed group entered the southern suburb without any coordination with the official Lebanese security services, and it is a diferent incident thatn that of the UNIFIL patrol that (((“accidentally”))) entered the Sullam neighborhood on the same night of the Dutch arrests. In the details reported by @Almahatta0 the following happened:
On Wednesday February 28, six Dutch military men were found to be lurking around the Bir Al Abed area in the southern Suburbs of Beirut (Dahyeh) with their weapons, telecommunication devices and expensive machine guns. Hezbollah security forces arrested those men and interrogated them. No information was given by Hezbollah officials following the arrests.

Hezbollah then on Thursday handed those six men to the Lebanese Army Intelligence (LAI) who interrogated the men for 4 hours. The Dutch Ambassador rushed to the LAI and demanded the immediate release of the 6 agents.

The LAI demanded to finish the interrogation, yet after 4 hours of their arrest, one Lebanese Government Commissioner to the Military Court, Judge Fadi Akiki.

During the interrogation with LAI the 6 agents admitted that they are members of the Dutch army but they were sent for this operation by orders of the Ministry of the Dutch Foreign Affairs and that they did not coordinate neither with their own embassy, nor the Lebanese authororties, nor the Lebanese Army nor the Lebanese general security services.

Their operation according to the 6 agents was to "implement a military drill for the purpose of Evacuating Dutch nationals from Lebanon in the event of war".

According to journalist @Hasanillaik, whatever the actual operation was it failed since the 6 agents were spotted and arrested by Hezbollah security personnel in Dahyeh. Illaik then proposes the theory that these agents might either be Zionists with Dutch passports or could actually be Dutch but work in coordination with the Mossad as this happened before in 1973 between the Dutch and the Mossad in Beirut.

In conclusion, this incident along with the Unifil incident of last night are both dangerous security developments in Lebanon who is currently at war with Zionist Israel.

If this had happened in any other country, those 6 agents would rot in prison for the amount of laws that they broke in said country. But low and behold, the Lebanese judicial system is in the hands of the colonizers.

So next time they tell you Hezbollah runs Lebanom, you be sure that Hezbollah only runs the resistance at the border with occupied Palestine and the security of the Dahyeh in Beirut POINT. Hezbollah could have decided to keep those 6 agents but it opted to hand them over the Lebanese authorities. We might nag and say they shouldn't have done so, but we as Lebanese citizens we should nag and ask our own "competent" government and LAI, who did not even issue a statement yet, as to WHY these agents were releasee, who the heck were they and why is this allowed to happen in Lebanon especially during times of war.

Zionist Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said today that one of Israel’s options in the war against #Hamas was to drop a nuclear bomb on the #Gaza Strip.
Such statements are not far fetched and here is why👇🏻
Below is the Faj Attan mountain bomb in Sanaa, #Yemen April 20, 2015. This was the result of a nuclear bomb in an operation carried out by two Israeli F-16s in coordination with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
News was published by Veteran Today on May 28,2015 under the title: The nuclear war has begun in Yemen, signed by Gordon Duff and Jeff Smith.

#Hezbollah statement:
"We were not at all surprised by the political positions and field measures taken by the US administration, especially the recent statements of the US President in blatantly declaring open support for the killing machine and Image the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people. This is the true essence of the entire US policy in its continuous support for aggression and terrorism since the establishment of this usurping, occupying entity.

U.S. sabotaging Nord Stream pipelines 1 and 2 will have unimaginable consequences🧵:

-Russia, Denmark and Germany have confirmed it was a deliberate sabotage and could be irreparable. Europe (and particularly Germany) will run out of Russian gas indefinitely. -The price of gas in Europe has risen 21% in a single day.

- On Feb 7, before war broke out, Biden threatened that gas pipelines would no longer exist if Russia invaded Ukraine.

With a stricken heart, saddened by the news, I give out my condolences to Russian Philosopher and dear friend Mr. Alexander Dugin for the martyrdom of his daughter Darya Dugin, who was assassined in a car explosion in Moscow today. Darya was coming home back from a traditional family festival in which her father was giving a lecture on "Tradition and History".

Darya's innocent blood spilled today is on the hands of NATO and the US.

have been murdered & had their organs harvested in the southern Lebanese village of Ansariyeh by a psychotic killer with 4 accomplices all of whom from Syrian nationality.
A horrifying tragedy. A horrible nightmarish case in which Lebanon has never witnessed before.
It was reported that the lead murderer was captured in Damascus and handed over to Lebanese authorities. No reports on the remaining 4 so far.

معارضة الاقتراض من صندوق النقد الدولي واجبة وضرورية.

لماذا؟

١. أنشأ صندوق النقد الدولي نظاماً من الاستعمار الحديث يقوم على مبدأ structural adjustment policies أي سياسات التكيف الهيكلي التي تزيد الفقراء فقراً وتزيد الأغنياء سمناً. تضمن "سياسات التكيف الهيكلي" التي يتبعها صندوق النقد الدولي والبنك الدولي سداد الديون عن طريق مطالبة البلدان بخفض الإنفاق على التعليم والصحة؛ إلغاء الدعم الأساسي للأغذية والنقل؛ تخفيض قيمة العملات الوطنية لجعل الصادرات أرخص؛ خصخصة الأصول الوطنية؛ وتجميد الأجور.
