Lebanon army begins taking over southern ‘pilot zones’: US

The US State Department said operations had started in “pilot zones” in Froun, Srifa and Zawtar Al-Gharbiya “in accordance with the Trilateral Framework and under the auspices of the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon.”

Hezbollah has rejected the framework, with the Iran-backed group insisting any arrangement in Lebanon be linked to wider negotiations between Washington and Tehran. It has not said whether it will resist implementation in the designated areas.

The agreement does not set a timetable for Israel’s withdrawal.

Israeli officials have also vowed that their forces will remain in a “security zone” 10 kilometers (six miles) deep along the frontier for as long as Hezbollah remains armed.

A Lebanese military source told AFP that troops had begun intensifying patrols in several villages adjacent to areas occupied by Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, including Froun.

Hezbollah Cuts Ties with Lebanon's Presidency While Sparing the Army

In recent days, Hezbollah has sharply escalated its confrontation with the Lebanese authorities, particularly the presidency, ahead of President Joseph Aoun's visit to Washington.

At the same time, however, Hezbollah has continued to avoid direct confrontation with the Lebanese Army's leadership, despite previously warning that it would treat any party attempting to disarm it by force in the same way it treats the Israeli military.

After Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah used the parliamentary podium earlier this week to launch a sharp attack on President Joseph Aoun, accusing him of "becoming a political actor who deepens divisions among the Lebanese instead of serving as president and a symbol of national unity," fellow Hezbollah lawmaker Ali Fayyad said on Friday that "the problem with this government has become serious, very serious. The bridges with it have been severed, the possibility of reaching an understanding no longer exists, and the consequences will not be favorable.

Hilal Khashan, professor of political science at the American University of Beirut, said the available indications suggest that "Hezbollah is preparing for confrontation and that the next phase will be extremely difficult and dangerous." He added that concerns over divisions within the Lebanese Army if it were forced into a confrontation with Hezbollah are well founded and that the consequences of such a decision should not be underestimated.

Ali Al-Amin, political writer and editor-in-chief of the Janoubia news website, argues that Hezbollah "is not operating as a Lebanese political party concerned with the national considerations that shape the president's positions on negotiations, Lebanon's foreign relations, or the country's security. Hezbollah today is, in effect, part of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, and its position toward President Joseph Aoun reflects Iran's position toward him."

Israel says ready to move on pilot zones amid new Lebanon talks

The Lebanese presidency had announced on Monday that its delegation to Rome had been instructed "to demand the immediate start of Israeli forces' withdrawal from the two pilot zones before any further discussion".

AFP journalists saw delegation vehicles entering the US embassy compound in the heart of Rome under tight security on Tuesday morning ahead of the talks, while the embassy declined to comment when asked.
According to a Lebanese diplomatic source familiar with the content of the talks, "the Lebanese army is ready to gradually take control of the localities from which the Israeli army would withdraw".

But Hezbollah rejects the agreement outright despite Lebanese government pressure, lowering expectations of success in the negotiations.

Orna Mizrahi of the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv said Israel was "willing to withdraw gradually", but on the condition that "that there will be no presence of Hezbollah in the areas that Israel is withdrawing from".

She added that Israel also seeks to ensure "that the Lebanese army will have the ability... to keep it as a neutralised zone and a neutralised place that Hezbollah cannot come in again."

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Tuesday that his country was "ready to move forward implementing these two pilot zones".

"I hope and tend to believe that this round of discussions in Rome will promote it."

Explanted titanium plates/screws (post-surgery) — where can I sell these in Lebanon? Scrap or otherwise?

had titanium plates and screws removed after my fracture healed (about 8 months ago) and they've just been sitting with me since. I have all the medical documentation proving they're mine from the removal surgery.

A few questions if anyone has insight:

1. Is it legal to sell explanted titanium implants in Lebanon at all , either as scrap metal or otherwise?
2. Are there scrap metal buyers/recyclers here that specifically deal in surgical-grade titanium (Ti-6Al-4V)?
3. Realistically, what would something like this fetch? I've read mixed things about pricing and want a local, accurate picture rather than guessing.
4. Is reuse in another surgery ever a legal option here, or is that a hard no everywhere?

I'm mainly trying to figure out my actual options rather than assuming anything. Any leads, buyers, recyclers, or even just "don't bother, it's not worth it" appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Will the new Hormuz escalation trigger an escalation in Lebanon?

Since the Lebanon ceasefire is tied to Iran now, I’m worried that the latest blow up over Hormuz will either result in Israel hitting Beirut or Hezbollah doing another “in solidarity with Iran”

Anyone would like to adopt this kitten?

It's a female and as small as your palm hand

Her siblings died and mother apparently abandonned her.

She's a bit skittish and shy but likes to follow people around.

Note: if no one will take her she probably won't survive. I feed her everyday but somehow her siblings dissapeared so I expect she'll dissapear as well.

How's UAE re-entry these days? Asking as a Lebanese Shia

I'm Lebanese Shia, born in Beirut, but I have a South American passport and my UAE residence is on it. Been living here 5 years, valid work visa with a multinational, clean record, no political affiliations whatsoever.

For context I'm a guy in my early 20s. In these 5 years I've gone back and forth to Lebanon at least 10 times and never had a single issue. Never got stopped or questioned, all my entries and exits were smooth.

I'm in the UAE right now and planning to go visit my parents in Lebanon next week, but with everything happening in the region I'm honestly nervous about coming back in after. It's not the Lebanese part that worries me, it's more the Shia part and whether that gets you flagged these days even with a clean record. I'm not even practicing, it's just the name and background at this point. Maybe the foreign passport helps, maybe it doesn't matter at all if they're going by names, I really don't know.

Thing is my whole life is here. Job, bank account, apartment, car. Getting denied entry after a short trip would be a disaster for me.

Has anyone traveled recently and made it back in fine? Or heard of anyone having issues at the airport? Any info helps.

Does TOD work ok on ADSL internet?

I have ADSL internet and the speed is around 10 Mbps. I have been watching the matches on free live streaming websites like www.ntv.cx and I set the quality to 540p. Sometimes it works ok and it chops for a bit and then it comes back but often it misbehaves and I have to keep on refreshing the page and trying different sources until it works in the end.

I am considering watching the semi final matches and the final match on TOD on my laptop. Will it work ok on my ADSL internet? Can i choose the video quality? I want to be able to keep on lowering the quality until it plays smoothly.

One of Lebanon’s Greatest Engineers: Hassan Kamel Al-Sabbah

I haven’t seen any postings of him or on Reddit. But I just wanted to talk about him because I find it very motivating to come from the same country as him.

He was born in Nabatieh, Lebanon, and later became an electrical engineer at General Electric in the United States. he has earned over 40 U.S. patents and made important contributions to electrical engineering.

To get technical, in the early 1900s electrical rectifiers were really unstable and weak to use in an industrial setting. His work helped move AC/DC conversion beyond small experimental systems and toward the high power industrial applications that modern factories and electrical infrastructure depend on. He was one of the engineers whose work helped lay the foundation of modern systems today.

He had dreams of turning the desert to electrical power hub. He was pioneering and researching solar energy before it was even worth looking at. Barely anyone knew about it in the early 1900s. He also had several patents in early television technology.

Unfortunately he passed away pretty young at 40 due to a car accident. Some have conspiracy theories on it.

But his work is very inspiring, especially when there is people like you that did big things. It’s motivating. So I thought I’d share a little history.

To all of you who think dating outside of Lebanon is better trust me it's not

This is a reply to the post about a guy complaining how dating girls in Lebanon is hard.

I am here to offer a different perspective,

I am a young college girl(starting in september) who moved from Lebanon to Canada in my teens. Lowkey I haven't tried the dating scene in Lebanon or even tried dating Lebanese here because ya'll are so rare where I live.

But lowkey if you are a girl and don't want guys to use you, ignore you or just straight up tell you they will kill themselves if you leave just don't date outside your culture and don't date westerners unless you actually find a good guy which yes there are good guys out there but, most of them don't understand boundaries like no sex before marriage and no living together before marriage(if you have those boundaries at-least, I'd assume if you're a Lebanese girl you do but I don't want to Generalize) , they usually wanna "try you out" before marrying you.(Talking about western guys here)

Dating westerners is not better than dating Lebanese guys. I know Cause i've dated 3 guys outside of Lebanon and non of them respected my boundaries and wanted more, the last guy just started ignoring me after I set my boundaries (it seemed like he lost interest but didn't wanna break up). HOWEVER, I haven't tried dating Lebanese guys so take my advice with a grain of salt. Lowkey also heard bad stuff bout you guys from the girlies so idk tbh

TLDR; Dating scene is fucked everywhere not just Lebanon

Baalbek - What a wasted opportunity

First off, I was in awe the entire time at the site. Incredible and we were the only family which is crazy.

For 30 mins after Zahle to Baalbek it's constant barrage of black and red Flags, khomenei and mojtaba ..

When you get to sa7et Baalbek day3a .. gigantic Nasrallah , and some other guys posters at the roundabout and complete overwhelming flags and shit. They must have spent a fortune on 1000s of flags.

It is to a level of worship at this point ..

The area surrounding the 2al3a was dirty and empty shops and cafes.

In another world, the baladiye would realize we could have a Boom here and make 2al3a views , clean up streets, make it more welcoming and it would put so many cities b jaybeta ... So much potential and Zero vision.
