Elderly man and wife killed in Israeli shelling on Shebaa home
2023-10-15
[An Nahar] Two Lebanese non-combatants were killed in Israeli shelling of the southern village of Shebaa on Saturday, its mayor told AFP, as border tensions rise over Israel's war with Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
"A man and his wife have been killed in their home by Israeli shelling," mayor Mohammad Harb told AFP.

Lebanese media reports identified the victims as an elderly man and his wife.

The Israeli shelling followed a Hezbollah operation against Israeli military posts in the occupied Shebaa Farms.

Hezbollah and Paleostinian factions in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. 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. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
have exchanged cross-border fire with Israel since Hamas' shock October 7 attack on Israel ignited a war that has reportedly killed more than 1,300 people in Israel.

The Paleostinian button men also seized an estimated 150 hostages while Israel's retaliatory air and artillery bombardment has killed more than 2,200 people in the Hamas-run 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 an 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 oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip.

An AFP correspondent near Shebaa earlier reported heavy shelling in the area.

Israel has shot it out with Hezbollah and allied Paleostinian factions in Lebanon on a near-daily basis since Sunday, although the tit-for-tat attacks had so far remained limited.

Earlier Saturday, Hezbollah said it shelled Israeli positions in the contested Shebaa Farms district of the border and the Israeli military said it retaliated by "striking the origin of the launches."
So Hezballah killed them by shooting from nearby. Quelle surprise!
Hezbollah later said it had launched fresh strikes on Israeli targets in the disputed area.
