[IsraelTimes] Lebanon reports six people wounded after ‘enemy military drone targeted a car’ near the border with Syria

Leb
...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....
said an Israeli attack on Friday maimed six people, as Israel said it targeted a Syrian terror operative who planned attacks under Iranian instructions.

"The Israeli attack near the town of Hawsh al-Sayyed

Ali in the Hermel district led to six maimed, including five Syrian nationals, two of them women, and one Lebanese," Lebanon’s health ministry said, without specifying whether one of the Syrians was the target of the Israeli strike.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that "an enemy military drone targeted a car" in the town, located close to the Syrian border, an area that has largely been spared such attacks since an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire was agreed in June.

Israel’s military named the targeted operative as Yusuf Ali al-Hassoun, who it said "operated under the direction of the Iranian regime and advanced terrorist attacks targeting Israeli civilians and IDF (Israeli army) soldiers operating in southern Syria."

It did not say whether the suspect was operating as part of a particular terrorist group.

Hassoun allegedly "planned and advanced attacks" against soldiers "that were thwarted, including the launching of explosive drones and rockets toward IDF soldiers in southern Syria."

The IDF "will continue to operate to eliminate immediate threats on all fronts," it said, without immediately clarifying whether it believed Hassan was killed in the strike.

...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.
