Son Of Former Hezbollah Top Military Commander Was Targeted In Alleged Israel Strike On Syria

The son of one of Hezbollah’s founders was the target of the alleged Israeli strike on the Syrian-Lebanese border earlier this week, the al-Arabiya TV reported on April 16.

According to the UAE-based channel, the drone strikes targeted Mustafa Mughniyeh, the elderly son of late commander Imad Mughniyeh, known as al-Hajj Radwan. Mughniyeh was Hezbollah’s top military commander. He was assassinated in the Syrian capital, Damascus, in 2008, allegedly by the Israeli intelligence.

32-year old Mustafa Mughniyeh is heading “Unit 112,” a Hezbollah division specialized in transporting the group’s high-ranking personnel between Syria and Lebanon.

Al-Arabia claimed that Mustafa and an officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were on a mission when an Israeli drone targeted their SUV in the Syrian town of Jdaidit Yabws on the border with Lebanon on April 15.

Lebanese sources shared a CCTV video of the strike, showing not only two but three men leaving the SUV, a black Jeep Grand Cherokee, seconds before it explodes. The three men retrieving several bags from the vehicle before leaving.

Israel has a track record of targeting Mughniyeh’s family members. In 2015, an Israeli airstrike on the town of Mazraat Amal in the southern Syrain governorate of al-Quneitra, killed Mustafa’s younger brother Jihad Mughniyah and several Iranian commanders. Jihad was also a prominent commander of Hezbollah, working mainly in Syria.

Al-Arabiay’s report is highly plausible. Nevertheless, Hezbollah usually announces Israeli attacks on its personnel, even if they failed. The group is yet to comment on Jdaidit Yabws incident. The group’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is having a speech in two days. Some observers believe that he may touch on the incident in the speech.

I don’t know, they seemed to dawdle too long, like they were unpacking from a picnic. It must have been their first time so be warned- cowards will kill you like that.

Shy Talk

Strange, why bother going back for the bags, why shut the doors and what was the guy looking at on the left side of the car, if it was a missile strike they wouldn’t see it coming or know when it was going to hit, exactly 40 seconds between them leaving the picture then the car explodes, all a bit odd.

Toni Liu

There good thing to know, maybe there are mole inside mossad that inform them a minute before, no wonder they able to take a bag like that, hope many hezbollah operatives able to penetrate mossad so it will prevent more hizbollah casualties in the future and able take the organization down from inside

igybundy

Maybe they were tagged and he was looking at the red dot on the side.. You need special glasses to see it but the missile can home in on the target lighted up. How else did they know they were being targeted?

Traiano Welcome

It looks like they were instructed to get out of the vehicle. I absolutely can’t see them leisurely returning to the SUV to pick up their luggage, closing the doors and passing back past the vehicle if they were aware of the drone above. Perhaps also they *suspected* they were being targeted but were not sure, and took lucky precautions.

Jens Holm

I see no unexpected troubles for Israel at all.

You really dont get things s they are. Its normal these days to send more missiles and grenades, so the calculated numbers hit.

Zionism = EVIL

Replying to a Danish mental patient is not wise.

Jens Holm

It depens on the level. Most people in the world made matchbox wars as tanks better then Your warfare …

I hope You get jobs as Generals for the ones, I dont like. I even will recommend You, if You wish.

Jens Holm

Sure, they will make some damage. What next. Will You make profit seelling Jews white flags?

<>

Filthy Ruskis, actively helping Iran to steal our technology and they also stole our David Sling’s interceptor. I piss on all the Ruskis here, the next time we should bomb them too along with their Iranian friends.

Jens Holm

This must be thieves talk among thieves.

verner

come on – the jews are thieves, murderers and liars on an epic scale so don’t accuse someone else of stealing etc since the jews are bottom-feeders par preference and they’ve have stolen everything they have, strarting with palestine. however rest assured, the jews are gong down and forced to leave or hand back everything they’ve stolen.

LR, if the report is true then Russia saved Iranian proxies from an Israeli airstrike using the EW system and Iran couldn’t have stolen it without Russia’s help. If we coordinate the attacks with them, then they just know where we are about to hit and tip Iran or the SAA, we should stop doing it. And seriously, “Israel survival would really depend on syria” is not true at all, if they let Iranian proxies cross into Lebanon during a wartime then we would just declare war on Syria too and fight them both, the IDF is capable of doing it. We don’t need Russia to enforce some fake UN decisions regarding Israel, we need them to stop supporting our enemies in Syria, because they also know it from their side when NATO supports Ukraine and Georgia. On the other hand if they do nothing to stop Iran and some Israelis die by any rocket attack coming from Syria or Lebanon, I don’t see how Russia could stop the war.

Zionism = EVIL

Iran’s Defense Minister Brig.-Gen. Amir Hatami showed off the drones on
Saturday. He said that one jet-powered UAV could fly at speeds of 900
km. per hour at an altitude of 12,000 meters. This would rival the best
drones that the US and other countries are now using. These drones have a
range of up to 1,500 km., he said, and can fly for several hours. It is
a message to the Zionist regime, the US and their allies: We can reach you.

Any advance in Southern Lebanon would be very slowly in the first 2 weeks, till we breach their defenses and destroy villages that shoot short ranged rockets. In the 3rd week we should cross the Litani river, and reach Beirut in the next two weeks. It all depends on how much firepower we are ready to use, and how many cities / villages we are going to target with or without civilians. Southern Lebanon is a Shia area, so we should just wipe out them and work with other Lebanese factions to create a new Iran free government.

Zionism = EVIL

haha stupid childish wanker. Next time if Russians are killed by the Jew cowards, even Putin will not be able to stop the Russian military from thumping the Zionist faggots.

Zionism = EVIL

Seriously, debating with a Jew PUNK living in the US is not very smart. This moron has at least half a dozen accounts that even talk to one another and upvote each other.

Zionism = EVIL

I know, they are schizoid hasbara lol

Jens Holm

Ýerrrh he was a baker and fisherman an by that took a job from 1 person. Nastly little fellow:(

You are not even able to look up or dont care or both. No wonder jes kill You 100 to 1.

Zionism = EVIL

Actually, the guy is a retard and posts in some alien form of English, which even google translate rejects. He craves attention and posts after every comment and in every case off topic in an incomprehensible language only spoken on planet Retardus in a galaxy far far away.

Jens Holm

Google translate is the best internet can for now and much better then dictionaries in the old days.

It certainly also has its limitations, where I have told You and others again and again, You make things much worse if You go from a very simple langugage to an advanced one – and has no knowledge about those simple facts. I also has told many times, that You most likely come from a culture, where You not even are allowed to debate things, which are normal heree and also have a language for.

I here and there still see You comment women on the street here as prostitutes. They are not. They are normal free as men.

I still see Yours raise, buy and sell women and even against their wished. We dont.

We raise and educate women to jobs and beig good taxpayers, so we dont have to pay them in divorse.

You are so so so bad in generalisatiens and by that also are not able to devellop. The list is so long and very visible in grammers as well.

So if You want to win against us, You as minimum has to implement the tools invented by us – Of course in Your own version.

How comes the world largest oil producers not even can produce a simple plastic bottle for own use. Easy: You have no middle class educated for it.

Why are Your companies so ineffecte: Easy – They are family buisinees, where You imploy family and not the best. 80% of Yours are like that. We have 20% as family buisiness and the 80% are on shares.

We alæso pay people for, what they do or not and women mainly gets the same salery as men in the same jobs. I have seen it here and in TV. A Young man gets a car for same job as a women given a mobil phone or a bunch of flowers in her behind. Often thts added with the You ng man given a car try to limit her sister and decide aboive here so she can become stupid again.

So yes. I amnot for any part of that culture, which in culture and language is exact, where it is deciding right now – You write it Yourself:

You write I lie and manipulate all the time, because You are raised in a place, where all do.

I am not. Thats why we can devellop things. We take facts, concludes and next step build on those facts. Your revolutions go back in time and then come forward to repeat the things, which makle You go backwards.

You not even are able to handle Your own history even with a calender. All is mixed up with all kinds of more or less constructed dirt any can see on the modern internet of today.

Here You not even has realtions to internet and fx the wikipedia and take it as it is even probatly 90% is hard facts can be proven by other sources.

But You believe in SANA, SPUTNIK whatever making things direct from sky or hell for own pupose and not Yours.

Jens Holm

You are like grass. We cant walk on it by free speach, if its not kept low.

Jens Holm

I dont bug You. I neutralize pest and cholera for sober free debate from ´home cooked nonsense of the worst kind.

I do clean my own home and for that matter country as well.

Jens Holm

I did reply, but in Your language, You dont understand.

That family member is a high ranked Hesbolla already – GET IT.

And You have not even checked that.

Iys usual for the german language as well as several others we compare and generalize by that telling that this nasty fellow is no inncent baker of fisrmen – BUT a high ranked Hesbollah as hois father.

Icarus Tanović

Imad was assassinated by Wahhabis or Al Nusra as they used to address them selves in Damascus. That is the case.

Rhodium 10

IDF dont kill them because they know that Hezbollah like IRGC counter attacks !..its not the case of SAA which are under Russian control!

Jens Holm

Thats uncorrect. This has been going on since 1948 or even before that. Its routine both ways.

Robert Ferrin

Almost looks like an explosion from the inside out rather than being struck on the outside.!!!!

verner

this tells the world that the jews in palestine has to be terminated, full stop – terminated. it tells the world that the only solution is the one state palestine solution and no no no israel, ever!

Jens Holm

No wonder some might think the same for You and some do their best for it as well as it goes.

Zionism = EVIL

Zionist cunts are a laughing stock, the idiots fired 2 dud missiles on a civilian jeep which was the wrong target and then yesterday Hezbollah walked several kilometers into Zionist occupied Northern Palestine near Metulla undetected.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:00 P.M.) – The online publication, Walla News,
reported on Sunday morning, that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) were
surprised last Friday night when they found the border fence with
Lebanon cut in three different locations.

According to the publication, Hezbollah was behind the cutting of the border fence,
which, in itself, would be a difficult thing to do, given the Israeli
security in this area.

The newspaper claimed that Hezbollah fighters succeeded in ’embarrassing’
the defenses of the northern region’s command in the IDF, after they had
penetrated three different points on the Lebanese-Israeli border, and
had withdrawn into Lebanese territory without casualties.

The Walla report claims the operation confirms the gravity of the Israeli
military security situation, especially as it is an area in which
several battalions in the IDF alternate responsibility in it, and that
the army’s response was so weak and too late, that it allowed the
Hezbollah fighters to return safely.
They would add that Hezbollah wanted to deliver an important military message to
Israel, stating that it could easily penetrate the borders and enter the
Israeli depth.

uncivilized people target children— routine for amerikans, turks and Israelis

Jens Holm

I see no children there unless they have taken a lot of hormones. They probatly are born with masks on too. Its the new Allh Bama trend with no nakedness. Qaum decided that.
