The first mention of "Gazafication of Lebanon" on X was November 30, 2020 by NicolasElHelou1, noting you had called it that months earlier (likely off-platform). No earlier uses found in searches. It next appeared in your post of October 21, 2023 as " of Lebanon" in a discussion of future scenarios.

The SDF announces general mobilization of its forces following the failure of a meeting on Monday in Damascus between Mazloum Abdi and Ahmad al-Sharaa, amid disagreements over how to implement the accord reached at the weekend and sponsored by Massoud Barzani. @aawsat_News cites the German press agency as saying that Abdi backed off from his acceptance of the deal under pressure from the PKK. This suggests the Syrian government will now look for a military resolution to the standoff. How will the Trump administration react, given that this could turn very messy and lead to the liberation of the Daesh prisoners still in the SDF’s custody? https://t.co/iIIxIo1oIw

Shame on @MTVLebanon for airing a ridiculous segment funded by @PhilipMorris_CH openly to give dis/information about smoking @DrPaulMorcos …

@Beirutspring @j_elzein I guess normalisation is a better term here.

@mccloskeybooks unable to send a DM but would really hope you will cover the @nytimes article “The Secret History of the War in Ukraine” in one of your upcoming @triclassified episodes.

Caesar of Truth, the noble Syrian:
Farid Al-Madhan - Head of the Judicial Evidence Department in the Military Police
I was still in detention when I learned that you had leaked tens of thousands of photos of detainees who had died due to torture in security branches.
That day I realized that we will win and that no one can erase the crime.
Farid Al-Madhan, Caesar of Truth, O noble Syrian, thank you
All of Syria owes you

A must read! Not necessarily to endorse @AlbertKostanian ‘s views. But because it is a solid proposal on the table

A great piece on a neutralization-focused pathway to political reform by @AlbertKostanian

@thebeirutbanyan Worst they think that 1701 cancels 1559

[Georges Ghali @GeorgesGhali]

No what the army confirmed is that they’re investigating with him following his transfer from a “political party”… that’s the concerning part

[Georges Haddad 🇱🇧 @Georges__Haddad]

CONFIRMED

Pierre Mouzannar has been found - he is in the custody of the Lebanese Army.

Confirmed by the family. Thank you to everyone who helped in searching for him ✌️

@Annahar @Starlink maybe ?

[Georges Ghali @GeorgesGhali]

Touché

In 5 years, the two myths that shaped Lebanon for 3 decades burst and brought the country down with them: the banking sector and now the muqawama (Hezbollah’s resistance).

How dare they call us Zionists.

We pursued peaceful resolution to their arms, avoided Chapter 7 in 1701, opened our doors in 2006 & sought dialogue with results.

Even as they killed our leadership & turned their weapons on us.

We were working day & night to avoid where we are.

This is irresponsible from @OgeroTelecom. Such news should be accurately reported, + to highlighting which areas! The level of of banality among Lebanese decision-makers is tragic. In addition to complete blackout on the conditions of IDPs and services they’re receiving.

BREAKING - Lebanon received 80,000 suspected Israeli call attempts today with message for Lebanese to evacuate their areas, head of Lebanese telecoms operator Ogero @ikreidieh tells Reuters.

He says calls came from abroad, are “psychological warfare to make havoc and chaos.”
