Batroun 💫 Lebanon 🇱🇧

#Batroun #Lebanon #Travel #GoodLife #AmazingPlaces

Despite US funding, arms delivery and training, the Lebanese military is ill-equipped to protect @lebanon sovereignty.

Illustration: Batroun is a city in northern Lebanon. "Earlier this month, a 25-member commando team from Israel's elite #Shayetet13 unit carried out a maritime raid, abducting [a naval captain] from an apartment in Batroun."
The commando left without facing even a statement of condemnation from the Lebanese army.
This incident demonstrates the degree to which Lebanon's defense capabilities remain compromised.

New York Times, 9 mars, un article, « These May Be the Oldest #Olive Trees in the World » (ce sont probablement les plus vieux #oliviers du monde) » se réfère aux oliviers de Bchaalé #Liban #Batroun Liban-Nord

L’article précise : « L’un d’entre eux, un géant dont le diamètre mesure environ 7 mètres, a plus de 1100 ans. Il s’agit du plus vieil olivier du monde, comme rapporté le mois dernier dans la revue Dendrochronologia. ».

[FR] Au Liban, depuis dimanche, c'est la tempête: vent, orages, neige en montagne... Mais samedi dernier, il faisait beau et doux. Photo prise à Batroun derrière l'église Sainte-Marie de la mer.

[EN] In Lebanon, since sunday, we have a storm: wind, thunderstorms, snow in the mountain but last saturday, the weather was mild and good. Photo taken in Batroun behind the church St-Mary of the sea.
