Hezbollah commander assassinated in southern Lebanon
2020-04-05
[Jpost] Hezbollah commander Ali Mohammed Younis was assassinated by unknown individuals in southern Leb
...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...
on Saturday, according to Iranian media.

Younis was "responsible for pursuing spies and collaborators," according to unofficial statements, the Iranian Fars news agency reported.
He didn’t pursue them well enough, it seems.
The Fars report included an image of a body lying next to an open vehicle.

Video of a minaret announcing Younis's death in southern Lebanon was shared by the Iranian Tasnim news agency on their Twitter account.
