The rehabilitation of #Syria's railways for integration into regional networks (#Turkey, #Jordan, #Saudi & #Oman) is moving apace.
Calls for job applications in the "General Institution for the Hijaz Railway" are now public -- with 44 roles/areas of responsibility open.
A broad view of South Lebanon in the Bint Jbeil area, three years apart.
What is visible here is not a case of certain villages get "highlighted". Rather, these are Shiite villages that no longer mostly. The lighter-colored areas actually mark the ruins left behind after large amount of terrorist infrastructure was destroyed by the IDF, following Hezbollah's transformation of these villages into forward operating bases used for storing weapons for the Radwan Force, launching rockets, firing anti-tank missiles, operating explosive drones, and other terrorist activities done by "non-state actors".
The Shiite population, through its support for Hezbollah and with Iranian backing, to a significant extent, brought this destruction upon its own villages. The objective of the military campaign against terrorist infrastructure is to prevent armed groups from re-establishing themselves in these locations, including through the widespread destruction of civilan areas that had been used for terrorist purposes.
In contrast, the Christian villages of Ain Ebel, Debl, Qouzah, and Rmaych remain largely intact. The reason is straightforward: they were not used as terrorist strongholds and did not permit significant Hezbollah military entrenchment within their boundaries.
This is a lesson that the people of Lebanon will ultimately have to understand: a village that is turned into a military base for an armed group operating against Israel becomes a military target and risks extensive destruction as a result. As long as Hezbollah continues its current course and refuses to disarm, more Shiite villages across southern Lebanon may face a similar fate.
🇱🇧 Israeli strike near Hiram Hospital wounds 10 nurses and medical staff, damages emergency department as attacks continue across southern Lebanon
➤ An Israeli airstrike on a residential building adjacent to Hiram Hospital in the southern city of Tyre killed one person and wounded 17 others, including 10 nurses and hospital staff, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).
The strike caused extensive damage to patient rooms and the emergency department, while shattering windows and damaging vehicles belonging to doctors and employees.
➤ Elsewhere in southern Lebanon, one person was killed and seven wounded in Israeli strikes on the town of Abbasiya, according to the NNA.
➤ An Israeli drone strike on a motorcycle along the Habboush highway killed its rider, while separate strikes in Sahmar and the Mashghara Plain killed one person and wounded another.
Israel has carried out at least 16 attacks since dawn that targeted vital civilian infrastructure and healthcare institutions in south Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.
The morning began with heavy artillery shelling that explicitly targeted the immediate perimeters of the Nabatieh Government Hospital and the Nabih Berri University Government Hospital, in south Lebanon. The attacks in the south then expanded into the Bekaa, where a drone strike targeted the plains between Hizzine and Taraya, followed by a series of heavy airstrikes on the Barghaz Valley.
In Western Bekaa, Mashghara was hit repeatedly by Israeli drone strikes, accounting for six of today's attacks alone. Meanwhile, consecutive airstrikes targeted residential areas in Toura, Shoukin, Deir Qanoun al-Nahr, and Abbassiyeh. On the ground, the Lebanese Army successfully intervened to dismantle an unexploded Israeli munition dropped directly inside a critical water treatment station in Ibl al-Saqi. This operation led to them discovering an Israeli surveillance drone monitoring the Halta area of Hasbaya.
This wave of Israeli aggression builds on yesterday's attacks, which reached the hundreds, including 15 massive airstrikes and a massacre that killed nine people in Tayr Debba.
Since March 2, US-backed Israeli attacks have killed at least 3,666 people killed and more than 11,321 injured. There have been over 160 direct attacks on healthcare facilities and medical teams, which includes the complete destruction of more than 100 emergency vehicles.
Almost one in five Israeli-labeled food shipments entering the EU are actually from settlements in the occupied West Bank or from the Golan Heights, according to a new investigation.

Syrian Border Guard Commander Hassan Abdul Ghani met with a Lebanese military delegation led by Michel Boutros to discuss strengthening border security cooperation.
The two sides focused on enhancing coordination in border control and combating smuggling activities along the Syrian-Lebanese border.
Ukrainian Air Assault forces shown advanced to Voskresenka. I suspect the Russian channels will delete this one pretty sharpish, after they realise they've been rumbled - but it's too late.
Just days after news broke that the National Defense Authorization Act for next year would virtually merge the US and Israeli militaries, we now are hearing that the Intelligence Authorization Act is doing the same thing with the US Intelligence Community!
Introduced by Sen. Tom Cotton, the provision would rip open our nation's secrets and hand them over to a foreign country - one that has just been accused of ramping up its spying on us!
Isn't there a name for this?
Watch @RonPaul & @DanielLMcAdams below:
Israeli drone strikes hit a group of civilians in the Al-Amal area west of the New Camp in Nuseirat, in central Gaza Strip.
The strike left two people seriously injured, both of whom were transferred to Al-Awda Hospital for treatment.
Medical sources later confirmed that a young man, identified as Islam Hassan Mohammed Saleh, was killed in the strike.
במבט רחב יותר, מדובר על מרחב שנמצא בעומק של כ-10 ק"מ מהגבול.
ואדי א-סלוקי מהווה גבול של קו ההגה הקדמי.
עם זאת, צה"ל רק מאשר שהם פועלים בואדי א-סלוקי עצמו עד לשפך לנהר ליטאני ולא מעבר.
אבל שימו לב שזה צפונית לתבנין, ואם ירצו, הם יכולים לבצע איגוף מצפון ומדרום סביב העיירה המרכזית הזאת.
אך נכון לעכשיו, לא ברור שזה הכיוון

🚨 At least 15 people were killed and 70 wounded in Israeli attacks across Lebanon over the past 24 hours, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
