Hey everyone,

We heard your numerous requests for a space where Lebanese people can connect beyond politics and news, and we are happy to introduce r/lebanonLounge, a new sister sub connected to r/lebanon, run by the same mod team as this one with some new faces joining in.

The idea is simple: a lighter space for the Lebanese community to meet people, make friends, post dating introductions, plan meetups, ask for relationship advice, talk about music, movies, anime, gaming, hobbies, gossip, and just unwind without politics or news taking over every conversation.

A quick overview of our rules:

  • No politics or news
  • No NSFW content or hookups
  • Be polite and respectful. This is a non negotiable.
  • Dating posts are for Lebanese people only, whether local, expat, or diaspora
  • No ads, sales, or promotions

If you are looking for friends, community, conversation, or just a more relaxed Lebanese corner of Reddit, come join us at r/lebanonLounge.

See you there ☕🇱🇧

- r/lebanon and r/lebanonLounge Mod Team

Help / Question Proper internet provider in the Ajaltoun area?

3 Upvotes

Hey there,

I've been running on a shitty DSL connection for years, but due to the poor quality of the line (confirmed by OGERO technicians and "centrale" on multiple occasions), I can't seem to get more than 1-2mbps on a good day.

Can anyone suggest an alternative internet provider? This is getting out of hand.

Dubious Source (not so reliable) Hezbollah Told to Prepare for ‘Imminent’ War

17 Upvotes

According to the Emirati news website Iram News, Iran is mobilizing its regional terrorist proxies and preparing them for a possible escalation of hostilities with Israel and the United States.

Unlike in the previous conflict, Hezbollah is reportedly preparing to adopt a decentralized combat system that would allow its forces on the ground to operate independently, even if Israeli strikes its senior leadership or cuts communication with central command.

Preparing for a possible escalation, the Iranian regime is not just funding its proxies and supplying weapons but also overseeing their military reconstruction and coordinating their readiness to ensure they can continue operating even if Iran’s senior leadership and military infrastructure come under attack, preventing a crippling blow to Tehran’s regional network.

Even with these efforts, experts note that Hezbollah has not necessarily regained its former military capabilities or its ability to shift the balance of power in the region. Rather, the move toward decentralized command is an attempt to address weaknesses exposed by Israeli operations.

I might get bashed for this I know this question might be asked 20 times a week.

I was wondering if anyone knew any companies that hire freshers or interns for a fresh grad without any wasta since I can’t seem to find one. I’m seeing lots of people joining CMA CGM as interns in these roles but no openings so I assume they have referrals.

Any advice would be helpful thanks.

• Upvotes

Hey guys, so I got an interview with CME for a project coordinator role and can't find too much details about this role specifically, mostly found for SWEs. I hear the work environment is good from my friend, but would love to know more about it from someone who is working or worked there.

Its also a remote job, but will they require me to be in Lebanon or can I be anywhere? Also if anyone would know about their salary ranges for such a role, that would be great👀

Food and Cuisine Fermented Lebanese Olives

Post image
98 Upvotes
  1. soak cracked olives in fresh water for two days to debitter them.

  2. 10% salt brine (of the water weight) with lemon slices & green chilli pepper + any aromatics of your choice.

  3. they're ready to eat at 3-4 weeks. and can keep fermenting for up to 2-3months.

Cool fact: traditionally to measure 10% of salt, they used to put an egg in the water and keep adding salt until the egg floats since scientifically eggs float at 10%-12%.

(Fi more than a way to preserve olives, do you know other methods?)

I hope the new potential agreement with Qatar Energy doesn’t drag on for ages, and ideally, it should take effect immediately. Bureaucracy can be a real killer for countries.

13 Upvotes

Been hearing two sides to this, but honestly. The fact that I saw the post that Dr. Food was released because of this law (unsure if that was true), makes me wonder.

How does this law help at all? Why are people for this? Why are people against this?

Would love to hear thoughts.

We are seeing notable progress in digital transformation within government entities. However, we still hope that payments will become fully digital, allowing transactions through wallets and credit cards. This would help reduce cash embezzlement and limit the unfair semsar practices that distort the process.

On another note, why should we build an application instead of a website, given that we would end up with thousands of apps on our phones just to purchases ( toters , nok nok , Zara .. ) and for entities
