Israel lured out an elusive Hezbollah commander with a mysterious phone call moments before launching the deadly airstrike that would kill him...
Fuad Shukr, who had evaded even the US for four decades, was killed on July 30 when he received a phone call in the southern Beirut neighborhood of Dahiyeh, a Hezbollah official told the Wall Street Journal.
The evening call instructed the Hezbollah commander to go up to the seventh floor of his building, with an Israeli missile slamming into the complex around 7 p.m., killing him and his family and injuring 70 others, according to Lebanon’s health ministry...
Officials in the terror group believe the call came from someone who had breached its internal communications network, exposing failures in Hezbollah’s intelligence network that compromised one of its most senior and elusive leaders.
Shukr was one of Hezbollah’s key founders and a trusted ally of chief Hassan Nasrallah, both of whom backed the terror group’s ongoing attacks on Israel since Oct. 8...
Despite his high-ranking position, the commander had remained out of the public spotlight since the 1983 Beirut bombings, where militants detonated two truck bombs at military barracks in the city, killing 241 American servicemen...
“He was like a ghost,” one neighbor told the Journal of Shukr, whom he never spotted in the complex...
The IDF had targeted Shukr after he allegedly greenlit the rocket attack against the Israel-controlled Golan Heights that killed 12 young people and left 40 other civilians injured.

He was distracted, playing “Oxcart 700” on his phone.
The Hezbollahy commander is hiding behind one of these bushes. Let's call him.

Well, if the CIA is run like the Secret Service and FBI, no wonder we can't catch bad guys.

Like a mouse trap-lol. Glad they’re on our side.
You’re being hunted by the IDF, you’ve been on the run for years, you hide among women and children and believe you’re safe…then the phone rings. Oh yea, these guys are smart, like Fredo smart. Bye bye idiot.
[ring ring] “Hello?” “Trick or treat.” [kaboom!]
“...and we’re not covering any air-to-ground missile damage.”
He was lulled into a false sense of security, which is more likely among devotees to a death-based religion.
Yep, the American Middle class taxpayers will cover that, and everything else like your student loans and funding a war with Russia and rebuilding Ukraine.
