U.S. Officials Confirm Senior Hezbollah Commander Was Killed By Israel In Syria

A recent Israeli strike on Syria killed senior Hezbollah commander Ali Mussa Daqduq, NBC News reported on November 22, citing a senior United States defense official.

Daqduq, also known as Abu Hussein Sajed, was wanted in the U.S. for attacks against American troops in Iraq, including planning a sophisticated attack in Karbala in 2007 that resulted in the deaths of five U.S. service members.

According to the U.S. Treasury Department, Daqduq has served “as commander of a Hezbollah special forces unit and chief of a protective detail for late Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah.” Daqduq was arrested in 2007 and imprisoned in Iraq, but was released five years later and sent to Lebanon.

After the outbreak of the war in Syria, Israel accused Daqduq of leading an elite force of Hezbollah situated along the front with the occupied Golan Heights.

The senior U.S. defense official who spoke to NBC News said that it was not clear when the Israeli strike took place, where in Syria or whether it targeted Daqduq specifically.

Reports of Daqduq’s death first emerged in Arab and Hebrew media following an Israeli strike that targeted a multi-story residential building in the Shiite town of Set Zaynab to the south of the Syrian capital, Damascus, on November 10. Hezbollah is known to maintain a strong presence in the town.

At the time, Syrian state media reported that seven civilians were killed in the strike. However, unofficial sources put the death toll at nine.

Israel has been targeting senior commanders of Hezbollah since the group began launching attacks from Lebanon in response to the war on the Gaza Strip last year. On September 27, the group took a heavy blow when its Secretary General Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli strike on the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

the jews won’t win a war from the air, no way and that is a universal truth. moreover killing off the leadership of hezbollah is futile since when one is taken out there is a cadre of volunteers ready to step up – after all, it’s the arch enemy, the jews illegally occupying palestine, that must be finished off, leaving no jews alive in the occupied land. aim of the alliance is a judenfrei palestine and that the jews can’t stop from the air.

breaking news! hungary’s viktor orban praises netanjahu and directly invites him to hungary, while condemning the icc’s arrest warrant against netanjahu. orban said (quote): “that is why i will invite benjamin netanyahu today, which will have no consequences for him. we will reject the arrest warrant if he accepts the invitation.”

with human intel of the caliber necessary to target an individual enemy commander does anybody actually believe that netanyahu didn’t have advance notice of the oct 7 attack? well, unless you get your ‘news’ from the nyts of course.
