On Friday, Iran’s foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian visited Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians.

The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

Israel attacked in Syria, according to publications, weapons depots of the Iranian militias in the area of Homs and Deba airport.
This is the eighth time in the last month that Israel has operated in Syria, but the first air strike deep into Syrian territory since Nasrallah's speech, in which he implicitly threatened to change the equation of the response to attacks in Syria
