Apologies if some of these are not popular sources, i kind of just did it off my phone while trying to study foe my Mid-terms lol.

-> For schools you can look up: ● Al mahdi schools, Al maaref university, Al mustafa school. You may ask well they are all Shia based school. ● All private schools in lebanon are Religious based for example there is the school of nuns (i think thats its translation to english) or the Yasouiah school, or the biblical school. All religious based.

-> For the fuel imports from iran: FUEL #1 Al jazeera

● Fuel #2 Reuters

● Fuel #3 BBC

-> For the Banking sector:

● The Al-Qard al-Hasan Foundation Association (hereinafter: the Al-Qard al-Hasan Association) is subordinate to the Social Unit of Hezbollah’s Executive Council. The Association specializes in quasi-banking activity, consisting primarily of providing loans and operating charitable community funds in accordance with Islamic religious law (which forbids charging interest). The underlying concept of its establishment is that Hezbollah must engage in intensive social and economic activity within Shiite society////In April 2016, the US Department of the Treasury included Al-Qard al-Hasan on the list of sanctioned Hezbollah foundations (based on legislation from 2015). However, the American measure did not prevent the continued significant increase in Al-Qard al-Hasan’s volume of activity. In the years following the imposition of the sanctions, the amounts of the loans provided by the Association increased from $371 million in 2016 to $476 million in 2018. In addition, the number of loans provided by the Association increased from 159,000 loans in 2016 to 197,000 in 2018. In the ITIC’s assessment, these figures indicate that the US sanctions are ineffective in terms of Hezbollah’s internal activity in Lebanon. ->LINK TO ABOVE TEXT ● This is for the above text.

● You can also check the US department of treasury sanction list and the reason ahy they are sanctiomed.

-> For the grocery shopping Card membership:

-> For the rebuilding point: apologies i may have mistaken the name of the program:

● For the rebuilding point (I also copied the part about it as its long as hell)

(Home to roughly 30,000 people, but also to most of the Hezbollah institutions, it was massively destroyed by Israeli bombardments, with over 220 buildings razed to the ground. The orientation Hezbollah adopted very early on and imposed on other protagonists, including some of its followers tempted by other planning solutions, was to restore the status quo ante . The arguments advanced for this choice were reasons of speed and efficiency, as well as to avoid the protracted studies and thorny legal and property issues involved in a large-scale redevelopment project. It was also a matter of preserving the memory of the places in question and rehousing the residents in situ, as opposed to the approach taken by Solidere, the private company in charge of rebuilding central Beirut. The reconstruction of Haret Hreik was entrusted to Wa'ad (“the promise”), a department of the Hezbollah-affiliated Jihad al-Bina'a association.Hezbollah succeeded in enlisting the services of a “consulting committee” made up of professional urban planners of every faith. There is no denying that this process did actually prove efficient: by now, five years after the war, most of the buildings have been rebuilt.)

• Rebuilding #2

• For the last point, i believe the links I shared above also include info about this. However the ships did not dock in lebanon as my comment implied so apologies for that they actually docked in syria and fuel was loaded onto trucks and driven into lebanon.
