Top Hezbollah commander Mustafa Badreddine has been killed, the Lebanese group said on Friday, the biggest blow to the Iranian-backed organization since its military chief was killed in 2008.
Badreddine, 55, was one of the highest ranking officials in the group, and assessed by the US government to be responsible for Hezbollah’s military operations in Syria, where it is fighting alongside the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
A Hezbollah statement did not say when, where or how he was killed, though it cited him saying he would return from Syria either victorious or as “a martyr”.

No joke Ozz! It’s not like the muzzie scum can’t just throw another one size fits all diaper head into the mix, call him the top commander, and continue on their terrorist ways.

A Hezbollah statement did not say when, where or how he was killed, Hopefully by the Israelis.
Long past time Nasrallah meets the same fate.

Not sure I know how good I’d feel about this one. Sounds like he was killed by Israeli forces for past crimes while he was occupied fighting Isis. I’d have to know more about it to have an opinion.

Works for me.

Yes, the 'powers that be' insists that "top commanders" are irreplaceable and eliminating high profile targets is the equivalent to destroying the center of gravity.
Unfortunately a power can absorb loses when they are backed by a sympathetic UN, "human rights groups", and an appeasement policy based on winning "the hearts and minds" which all that does is buy more time for the enemy to reorganize.

"Nakba" is Arabic for "catastrophe" or "cataclysm."
It's the term that Palestinian nationalists and their supporters are trying to make as famous as the word "Holocaust" has become in conjunction with the destruction of European Jewry during WWII.
