Hezbollah commander lured out of hiding with phone call moments before deadly airstrike: report

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.

Odd how... These wanted terrorist manage to evade American authorities for decades, and yet Mossad can find and kill them at will.

Reminds one of Osama Bin Laden... Hiding out in a posh Pakistani neighborhood, one of America’s supposed ‘allies’ in the ‘war against terror’ for several years... My guess is that Mossad found him too... Then it took Islam loving Obama a year or two to finally pull the trigger.

Israel has both a good reason and motivation and opportunity to go after terrorist a-holes in other countries, and needs to continue this until all of them are stone cold dead.

Yeah, and I’m sure the “we had no idea who he was” line of bull is just Hizzie boilerplate to be regurgitated by the media shills.

Well, I don’t know, and asking one of those bachelor party dolls probably doesn’t work.

Even more impressive is that the Mossad actually smuggled explosives into Tehran and planted bombs in three different bedrooms. In a special guest house used by elites guarded by the highest level Iranian military.
