It is now 5 am but I took this leading up to the ceasefire in Beirut. Everyone is up and counting the minutes.

About 2 hours ago- Biden announces the ceasefire and 10 minutes later huge Isra*li hits lol The irony.

Today’s hits in Beirut are going to be so intense before this supposed ceasefire, with so many evacuating causing traffic on the roads. Threats on Ras Beirut, Mazraa, Mar Elias, Zkak el Blat.

2 photos are of Mariam’s building destroyed last night in Beirut’s Dahyeh’s hits. The others are about those strikes using that very photo (Instagram: @megaphonenews). I know so many who have lost their homes and buildings in Beirut and the South. Unlike many, lucky not to have lost anyone so far❤️‍🩹

On Sat Nov 22 at 4am, Isra*el hit Basta in Beirut with many strikes, an explosion so big it left a crater. No warning. Leveling an 8-story building, & damaging many others. Bunker bombs used, like those on Nasrallah & Safieddine. It was terrifying. A day after Lebanese “Independence Day”, the irony.

Isra*l hit my neighborhood of Zoukak el Blat about two hours ago. No evacuation warnings. Smoke and the missile’s gunfire reached us but we are safe. I took this video an hour ago. Three hits in central Beirut over two days. This is madness.

Happy Monday to a Beirut shitshow and welcome to me on this less problematic version of Twitter! Genuine question: messages shared were called tweets that we tweeted. So what are they called here? “Hey check my sky?” “Did you see what they skyed yesterday?” I need to get to the bottom of this. وشكراً
