[Jpost] After Ali Mohammed Younis, a Hezbollah commander in charge of pursuing spies and collaborators was found killed in southern Lebanon over the weekend, Lebanese and Iranian media began reporting that the Mossad "and its mercenaries" were suspects in the assassination.
Hezbollah sources said Younis was found stabbed to death in his vehicle, Lebanese MTV news reported. He was found south of Nabatiya, Sputnik news reported.
A body was found on Saturday at the same location with stab and bullet wounds, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported. The report included an image that appeared the same as the image published in the Iranian reports about Younis’s death. A suspect has been arrested, NNA reported.
Al-Quds Al-Araby reported that the statement issued by Hezbollah mourning Younis indicated that his death was connected to his work, adding that the death may have also been due to differences between Younis and another group over financial issues.
...not at all the kind of thing that would motivate Mossad... | The Janoubia news website reported that Younis had been working for a while on a "sensitive file." Sources told the website that Younis was on a mission pursuing a target when he was ambushed by three vehicles and killed. Another person traveling with him was injured in the incident and mistakenly believed to be the murderer, according to Janoubia. It is unclear if he is the suspect that NNA reported. |
