Good evening and welcome to The Intelligent Recap.

It is Friday May 24th and the 231st day of the war in Gaza.

This week in Lebanon: the situation in the South, weapon trafficking and food tampering and how NGOs help rehabilitate people with drug addictions.

In international news: all about Gaza, Iran’s president dies in a helicopter crash, what do China’s drills near Taiwan tell us, and a UK general election.

We end our report with sports news and a This is Beirut exclusive on wildlife trafficking in Lebanon.

Watch it all, and more, exclusively on This is Beirut.
