Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.

Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.

    Egypt will supply Lebanon with natural gas via a pipeline that passes through Jordan and Syria.

Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water Walid Fayad confirmed Wednesday that repairs on a gas pipeline in northern Lebanon were scheduled to be completed by the end of February, enabling the start of gas imports from Egypt.

After a meeting with Lebanese President Michel Aoun, the Lebanese Presidency quoted Fayad as saying that, upon completion, the first phase of the work would allow Lebanon to deliver gas to Deir Ammar (a power plant in northern Lebanon).

Fayad noted that Egyptian gas imports to Lebanon would increase the country's electricity supply time by four hours, and two additional hours would be available due to power supplies from Jordan.

In December, a spokesperson for the Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources told Sputnik that Egypt was ready to start importing gas to Lebanon in January-February 2022.

The Egyptian cabinet's press service confirmed that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Sisi intends to provide Lebanon with Egyptian gas as soon as possible to prevent further power outages.

It is noteworthy that Egypt will supply Lebanon with natural gas via a pipeline that passes through Jordan and Syria.

On September 12th, Syria's Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources, Bassam Tohme, announced that the Arab gas pipeline is ready to transport Egyptian gas to Lebanon, noting that Syria is entitled to certain quantities of gas in exchange for its passage through Syrian territory. 

Amid severe economic meltdown, Lebanon has been unable to provide fuel for power plants for over six months, leaving the country without electricity up to 20-22 hours a day. The situation has hindered the functioning of state institutions, hospitals, and factories.

The restoration of the gas pipeline and reconstruction of the oil storage terminal would power supply run-time by 8-12 hours, while the operation of the oil storage facilities would make a strategic reserve possible.
