Hezbollah operative killed in IDF strike in Lebanon, but main target said to survive
[IsraelTimes] Hezbollah operative killed in IDF strike in Leb, but main target said to survive

A Hezbollah operative was killed in an apparent Israeli dronezap in southern 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...
on Sunday, the terror group confirmed, although a security official said the target was a high-level commander who survived. The drone attack was carried out early on Sunday afternoon in the southern Lebanon village of Kafra, located in the Bint Jbeil district, a known Hezbollah stronghold. The car was said to have been traveling close to a Lebanese army checkpoint at the time of the attack. A short while after the incident, Hezbollah confirmed the death of Fadl Ali Salman, saying that he was "killed on the road to Jerusalem," which is a phrase the terror group uses to refer to operatives killed in its conflict with Israel.
