...an Iranian colony 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 dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of 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...were killed in a mysterious blast blamed on Israel on Wednesday morning, Arabic-language media reported. Israeli officials denied any involvement and a Lebanese security source said the earth-shattering kaboom was accidental.
According to reports by Al Jazeera and other networks, the blast occurred at a base belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine — General Command (PFLP-GC), near the town of Qousaya in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon, near the border with Syria.
PFLP-GC accused Israel of carrying out a strike at the base. Images posted to social media showed a crater, a damaged building, and a damaged car, apparently as a result of the earth-shattering kaboom.
Israeli officials, however, said that the Israel Defense Forces did not carry out any strike in the area.

Oh dear. That’s really pathetic — worse than a colourblind bomb maker mixing up the red and green wires.
PFLP-GC front man Anwar Raja said Israel had carried out "overnight raids" on the Qusaya base."Five fighters were killed" and 10 maimed, he told AFP, adding that "for now we do not have more detailed information on the operation."
In past cases when Israel reportedly carried out strikes in the Bekaa Valley, it appeared to have acted in order to stop the transfer of advanced arms from Iran

The IDF reportedly struck a PFLP-GC base in the Bekaa Valley in 2019.
The PFLP-GC — not to be confused with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, from which it split in 1968 — was responsible for a number of vicious terror attacks in Israel in the 1970s and 1980s, including one against a school bus in northern Israel that killed nine children and three adults.
The PFLP-GC largely went underground in the late 1980s, working behind the scenes with the Lebanon-based Hezbollah terror group, but it reemerged in 2011 with the outbreak of the Syrian civil war, fighting alongside Syrian dictator Bashir al-Assad.
