Hezbollah official killed in drive-by shooting outside his home in eastern Lebanon
[IsraelTimes] Lebanese media identifies official as terror group’s local commander in Western Bekaa District; motive for attack not immediately certainA senior Hezbollah official in eastern Leb ...The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... ’s Bekaa Valley region was rubbed out Tuesday in what Lebanese media reported was an apparent liquidation. The official, named by Lebanon’s National News Agency as local Hezbollah commander Sheikh Muhammad Hamadi, was shot six times in a drive-by shooting outside of his home in Machghara in the Western Bekaa District. The button men, who were driving two separate cars, then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace of the attack, Lebanese news outlets reported, citing the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar television. Hamadi was transported to a hospital in the area, where he died shortly later. Inshallah. Lebanese authorities have opened an investigation into the shooting, and al-Manar reported said the motive was not immediately clear. According to An-Nahar news outlet, however, the liquidation stemmed from a years-long interfamilial feud and was not politically motivated."Yes, he was Hezbollah. But he was also generally an asshole" The deadly shooting occurred days before the end of the initial 60-day ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hezbollah. Under the terms of the agreement signed in late November, Israel has until January 26 to withdraw from southern Lebanon, while Hezbollah must retreat north of the Litani River, some 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the border with Israel. After the 60 days are up, the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL will be the only armed forces permitted to maintain a presence between Israel and the Litani. Reports in Israel have suggested that the deadline could be extended, ostensibly due to the Lebanese military’s failure to deploy throughout the region quickly enough. The US- and La Belle France-brokered ceasefire in late November came two months after Israel massively escalated operations in Lebanon in a bid to stem Hezbollah’s persistent rocket fire, which forced the displacement of some 60,000 residents of northern Israel. Israel’s offensive in Lebanon all but decimated Hezbollah’s top brass, drastically weakening the terror group. Unprovoked, Hezbollah began its near-daily attacks on October 8, 2023 — a day after fellow Iran-backed group Hamas  ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages, sparking the war in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... .
