According to a report in a Lebanese newspaper, Hezbollah is blaming Israel for the assassination of top commander Hassan al-Lakkis, saying that they will retaliate for the killing.
Lakkis was assassinated in Beirut Wednesday, shot by an unidentified gunman. A previously unknown faction calling itself the Brigades of the Free Sunnis of Baalbak claimed the killing, but security officials said the assassination bore the hallmarks of an Israeli hit.
Israeli officials said they were “happy” with the assassination of Lakkis, who they had unsuccessfully tried to kill multiple times in the past. They insist, however, that this time it really wasn’t them.
The Sunni faction that claimed credit for the killing suggested the killing was linked to the Syrian Civil War, and while spillover from them is nothing new, Israel’s long history of targeted killings means suspicion will continue to be on them in the absence of real evidence.
With all the murders the starvation theft of Palestinian lands water etc it will all be for naught for the Zionist and its enabler.
Dead hezbollah is a step towards peace.
No, dead Netanyahu is a step towards peace
If you really want to take a step toward peace, please take long walk off short pier. Or any other exit that lends itself to you.
I think Israel is trying to find a 'back door' to war with Iran. Provoking Hezbollah is the first step in the plan.
Roger, You may be right on the ball. But as with everything, we must wait and see as time will tell I am keenly watching these events, and am eager for these 'events'to unfold. . Ian.
Every corrupt and double faced western politician recognized the death of Mr. Nelson Mandela, even Netanyahu, a leader of a more modernized apartheid regime still in power and still stealing Palestinians land and demolishing Palestinians homes with help by the very same corrupt western politicians who regard Mr. Nelson Mandela "the man of peace and democracy".
By the very same politicians the Israel apartheid regime is and has marked as the only democracy in Middle East, meanwhile, the very corrupt democracy helping tyrants in Middle East and their barbarians to expend their inhuman religious atrocity in Syria and elsewhere.
When is the Palestinian/Hezbollah/Hamas/Lebanese/Iranian's going to "wake up and smell the coffee'?
For every one of your leaders that are murdered by the Israel/US, you must take out 10 of theirs. Do not limit yourselves to those in the Middle East, but the entire world, for they infest the entire planet therefore entire planet is you battlefield.
You would be wise to concentrate on those that have their "base of operations" in the U.S. – especially the prominent civilians, politicians and MSM media types who are directly advocating the destruction of your peoples and your cultures.
They are not playing fair therefore there is no reason for you to do so either
