The Hamas commander, who was also an employee of the UN’s Palestinian agency (UNRWA), was killed in an Israeli strike on the southern Lebanese city of Trye. “Overnight, during a joint IDF and ISA [also known by its acronym Shin Bet] intelligence-based activity, the IAF [Israeli Air Force] struck and eliminated the terrorist Fateh Sherif, Head of the Lebanon Branch in the Hamas terrorist organization,” the Israeli military announced Monday morning.
“Sherif was responsible for coordinating Hamas’ terror activities in Lebanon with Hezbollah operatives. He was also responsible for Hamas’ efforts in Lebanon to recruit operatives and acquire weapons,” the IDF statement said. “He led the Hamas terrorist organization’s force build-up efforts in Lebanon and operated to advance Hamas’ interests in Lebanon, both politically and militarily.”
The slain terror chief was ‘temporarily suspended’ by the UN for cheering the massacre of innocent Israelis on October 7. “Al Amin who was quick to praise the Hamas massacre on October 7 was described as the terror group’s leader in Lebanon and a member of its international leadership. He was also employed by the UN’s Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees UNRWA and was chairman of its teacher’s union,” the Israeli news outlet YNET noted.
Lebanon-based chief, other senior operatives of PFLP terrorist group killed in Israeli strikes
The head of the Lebanon-based PFLP, an Iran-funded Marxist-Jihadist terror group, and several of his associates were killed in the latest round of Israeli strikes.
“Overnight, during a joint IDF and ISA intelligence-based activity, the IAF struck and eliminated the terrorist Nidal Abdel-Aal, Head of the Lebanon Branch of the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine) terrorist organization,” the Israel military said in a press release Monday. “The terrorist Imad Odeh, who was the Head of PFLP’s Military Office in Lebanon, was eliminated alongside him.”
“Abdel-Aal led PFLP’s efforts to plan and carry out terror attacks against the State of Israel and directed the organization’s terror activities in Judea and Samaria. He operated to establish terror infrastructure in Judea and Samaria to use in attacks on Israeli targets,” the IDF disclosed.

The slain PFLP commander was behind last year’s terror attack in Israel’s Judea and Samaria region. “Abdel-Aal directed the bus bombing attack in Beitar Illit on March 9, 2023, and the shooting attack from a passing vehicle at the Huwara Junction on March 25, 2023, during which two IDF soldiers were injured,” the Jerusalem Post recalled.
Three other senior operatives of the Communist-Jihadist terror group were killed in Israeli strikes. “The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) says in a statement that three of its leaders were killed in an Israeli strike that targeted Beirut’s Kola district after midnight on Monday,” The Times of Israel reported Monday.

Report: IDF special forces breach Hezbollah terror tunnels in Lebanon ground operation
IDF troops entered Hezbollah terror tunnels in a bid to gather intelligence ahead of a possible ground incursion into Hezbollah-controlled southern Lebanon, The Wall Street Journal claimed Monday.
“Israeli special forces have been carrying out small, targeted raids into southern Lebanon, gathering intelligence and probing ahead of a possible broader ground incursion that could come as soon as this week, people familiar with the matter said,” the WSJ reported.
“The raids, which have included entering Hezbollah’s tunnels located along the border, have occurred recently as well as over the past months, part of the broader effort by Israel to degrade Hezbollah’s capabilities along the border dividing Israel and Lebanon, the people said,” the business daily added.
The operation by elite Israeli forces could be a precursor to a full-fledged military offensive against the Hezbollah terror group, recent Israeli media reports suggest. “Repeated incursions into Hezbollah’s underground tunnel system in South Lebanon” was “aimed to gather intelligence and diminish the terror group’s military capabilities ahead of a possible ground offensive,” YNET reported Monday.
Hezbollah’s tunnel network in southern Lebanon is more extensive and more sophisticated than Hamas’ underground terror infrastructure in Gaza. Hezbollah’s underground web of terror tunnels is far bigger than Hamas’s ‘Gaza metro’, which is estimated to be over 300-miles-long. The Times of Israel in January published an intelligence assessment that “the cumulative length of Hezbollah’s tunnel network in south Lebanon amounts to hundreds of kilometers.”
Hezbollah’s vast underground network of tunnel shafts, command centers, and weapons depots has been financed by the Iranian regime and built by North Korean mining companies.
Biden: “We need a ceasefire now”
Amid speculations over a possible Israeli ground operation against Hezbollah, President Joe Biden on Monday renewed the call for an immediate ceasefire.
Journalist: Israel may now launch a limited ground operation in Lebanese territory. Are you aware of this? Are you comfortable with their plans?
Biden: I'm more aware of that than you think. I'm comfortable with them stopping. We need a ceasefire now. https://t.co/gvNJ7C1581 pic.twitter.com/VhlQytWus3

The Jews just keep on winning! 👌
When Iran finally does manage to strike back it will be an attack against civilians and the world will fall silent.
Leftists will look the other way and say the Jews had it coming.
The BBC will be jubilant.
Well, Israel has genies, says our ME terrorist!
But I prefer to call them angels

Genies and genius!
Jewniuses!
Biden: “We need a ceasefire now”
America: “We need a new president now”
Biden: “My motto is build back better so I want to give more money to Ukraine.”
America: “Why don’t you give more money to help recover after Hurricane Helene?”
Biden: “Hurricane what?”
America: (face palm)
“ …the IAF [Israeli Air Force] struck and eliminated the terrorist Fateh Sherif…”
Israel shot the Sherif, but they did not shoot the deputy.
No, they got the deputy too 😂😂
Time to light a spliff, in celebration.
UNRWA: UN Rearming and weaponizing agency.
Do we need any more before we start kicking delegates from participating countries out of the totally corrupt UN?
I hesitate to leave the UN and completely turn it over to the world’s scum.
Just deem the UN to have zero authority over anything and then boot it from the US
My suspicions are likely totally unfounded. But, I think if the USA ever pulled out of the United Nations, several nations would follow us out the door. They just don’t have the guts to do it now.
Your renaming of UNWRA is brilliant. I’m going to use my eyes and plagiarize.
Let no one else’s work evade your eyes!
Only be sure always to call it please “Research”
Considering Iran is cyber attacking the campaigns, has politicians on a hit list and also has teams in the country I’m still amazed the US let their leader into the country and provided Secret Service protection to him.
Without consulting a map, I am sure you misspelled the city of Tyre.
Israel is doing this the right way. They held back for far too long. They need not stop until the last terrorists, like PFLP members are US college students.
A few hours ago, Netanyahu released a video directly to the Iranian people. In it, he says: ‘When Iran is finally free – and that moment will come sooner than people think – everything will be different.’

If he said that, I have to wonder if he used that as a way to trigger the people into rebelling?
Look what happened in Romania when the time was right? I don’t know what tipped people over the edge but it was a good thing. Have the leaders, the Caucescus, were gone and nothing flat
It started in the city of Timisoara as general unrest about the conditions there (which were worsening). Not hard to imagine something similar happening in other countries.
From the river to the sea?
What if Allah runs out of virgins?
Can he substitute ladies that are only slightly shopworn?
72. Hillary’s. 72 whoopies.
There are plenty of hags in Hades.
Helen Thomas will answer the call.
Israel should keep killing the terrorists and not listen to our feckless President! I can’t wait until they take out Iran right in front of Obama, Biden and Harris!
You simply can’t square the vile and evil Dhimmi-crat apparatchik-hypocrites’ “rah-rah-rah” jingoism and cheerleading for Ukraine in its war against Russia’s invasion, with their calls for ceasefires and restraint on the part of Israel, which also had its territory invaded, suffered worse atrocities and had hostages (including U.S. citizens) taken and murdered.
The latter stance is clearly a sop to the goose-stepping, Jew-hating Islamofascists and Muslims supremacists in Michigan, Minnesota and elsewhere in the U.S., who comprise much of the Dhimmi-crats’ wretched and wicked base.
This double standard represents truly evil and wicked appeasement, moral bankruptcy and hypocrisy.
I didn’t think after the last 3.5 years that Biden couldn’t look weaker, couldn’t look worse. But his senile whining of “we need a ceasefire” while Israel gives a freaking clinic on how to not only confront terrorist animals but to embarrass, defeat, dismantle and humiliate them makes him look like a eunuch, not the “leader of the free world” my God Biden is an embarrassment…..
I wonder if Hamas is having second thoughts about the payoff for October 7 along with Hezbollah supporting them by lobbing thousands of missiles into Israel. None of this is what they expected. I bet they thought they would get the usual West demanding a ceasefire and Israel going along with it. Looks a little different this time.
