Good evening and welcome to The Intelligent Recap.

It is Friday, December 29 and the 84th day of the war in Gaza. It is also the last episode for 2023.

In tonight’s news, the main focus, locally, remains the situation at the Lebanese southern border. We will also take a look at other Lebanese news including the strike in private schools.

Internationally, the war in Gaza rages on, and the US government approves military aid to Ukraine.
