| 2016-11-05 |
| [ALMASDARNEWS] PressTV reported that a close source to Hezbollah, speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... , said on Friday that 19-year-old Kassem Shamkha was killed the previous day as he and fellow fighters were repelling a jihadist holy warrior assault on the western flank of Aleppo. The late midfielder used to play for al-Ahed Sport Club, which competes in Leb's top soccer division ‐ the Lebanese Premier League. al-Ahed, which is strongly supported by the Lebanese Shia Moslems and affiliated to Hezbollah movement, has won the Lebanese Premier League crown four times. "He will go down in history in the club's records, because he was a hero on the football field just like on the battlefield in defense of the homeland," al-Ahed Secretary General Mohammad Assi said. "He was a talented player with huge potential for the club and for Leb, but he chose the route of jihad," he added. "He will go down in history" -- name one charioteer from Constantinople's Greens or Blues. They used to have race riots (so to speak) over who won or was gonna win. |
