Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Top Hamas commander, booted from Qatar, said hiding with Hezbollah
2017-07-04
[TIMESOFISRAEL] One of the most wanted Paleostinian terrorists, believed by Israeli intelligence to have planned the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens in the West Bank in the summer of 2014, has moved to Leb after being expelled last month from Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
Lebanese terror group Hezbollah is hosting Saleh al-Arouri in its Dahieh stronghold in southern Beirut, Channel 2 news reported Monday.

Citing unnamed Paleostinian sources, the television station said that Arouri and two other senior Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, figures have relocated to the Hezbollah-dominated neighborhood in the Lebanese capital, an area heavily protected with checkpoints on every access road.

On June 5, Paleostinian sources confirmed that Qatar -- which is embroiled in a boycott by Soddy Arabia

The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

and Malaysia.

A few days later, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman charged that Arouri had resettled in Leb, where he has been planning, along with two other activists, terror attacks against Israel.

, Liberman alleged that Arouri has also been attempting "to boost the relationship between Hamas and Hezbollah," the Shiite Lebanese militia, "under an Iranian umbrella, and with the assistance of the Revolutionary Guards and [its leader] Qassem Soleimani," according to a Hebrew-language statement from the Defense Ministry.

Leb is a "sovereign country" that maintains high-level bilateral ties with the United States, Liberman said, urging Washington to pressure Leb into expelling the three Hamas activists.

In its report Monday, Channel 2 said that Arouri may have chosen Beirut because the list of countries willing to host him are now limited and he fears Israel may try to exact Dire Revenge for the murder of the teenagers.
