Israeli Airstrike Eliminates Hezbollah’s Top Syria-Based Terrorist
Also, IDF conducts “wave of airstrikes” in Lebanon after Hezbollah violated ceasefire.
Israel on Tuesday eliminated senior Hezbollah terrorist Salman Nemer Jamaa in an airstrike in Damascus, Syria.
Jamaa, who was Hezbollah’s top representative in Syria, was killed in a drone strike near Damascus airport, Arab media reports say. “Syrian regime-affiliated news reported that a vehicle was struck by an Israeli UAV,” the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed the elimination of Jamaa in “an intelligence-based strike in Damascus.”

The successful strike “degrades both Hezbollah’s presence in Syria and Hezbollah’s ongoing force-building efforts,” the Israeli military announced in a press release Tuesday afternoon.
IDF described the slain terrorist as a “key Hezbollah figure” in the Iranian and Syrian regime’s “weapon smuggling to Lebanon.”
“Jamaa, a senior Hezbollah terrorist, has held various positions in the Hezbollah terrorist organization over the past years, especially in the Syrian arena,” the IDF statement noted. “He had previously served as the Head of Intelligence in the Khiam arena, the Head of Operations in Hezbollah’s Damascus command center, and in recent years, Hezbollah’s representative to the Syrian military.”
“As part of his role, Jamaa was responsible for coordinating between Hezbollah operatives and the Syrian military, including supporting weapons smuggling from Syria to Hezbollah, including during the “Swords of Iron” war. Additionally, he was in close contact with Syrian state officials,” the IDF added.
The news comes as forces loyal to Iran-backed Assad regime are in full retreat amid a major offensive by Islamist rebels in northern Syria.
Rebel fighters led by jihadist Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) have taken most of Aleppo, Syria’s second-largest city, and were advancing on the Assad regime-controlled western province of Hama. “Syrian insurgents captured four new towns early Tuesday, bringing them closer to the central city of Hama,” the Associated Press reported. “The latest push is part of a wide offensive by forces opposed to Syrian President Bashar Assad that over the past days has captured large parts of the northern city of Aleppo.”
IDF conducts “wave of airstrikes” in Lebanon after Hezbollah violated ceasefire
The IDF conducted a series of airstrikes on Hezbollah terror targets after the Lebanese terrorist group violated the Biden administration-backed ceasefire by firing mortars into northern Israel. The pro-Iranian terror militia continued to fire rockets at Israel on Tuesday, the Israel military confirmed.
“The Israeli military launched a wave of airstrikes in Lebanon on Monday evening after Hezbollah launched two mortars at the Mount Dov area for the first time since the ceasefire between Israel and the Iran-backed terror group took effect last week,” The Times of Israel reported Tuesday.
Hezbollah bunkers on the Lebanese side of Mount Dov were recently demolished by combat engineers, the IDF says, in an operation that "neutralized all the threats" in the area.

The IDF, on Tuesday, engaged Iran-backed terrorist groups on at least four fronts.
Covering the Israel military operations against terrorist forces in several theaters, the Israeli news website YNET reported:
[T]he IDF continued its multi-front operations, carrying out strikes in Syria, southern Lebanon, the Beqaa Valley and the Gaza Strip on Tuesday. (…)
The IDF continued its warning strikes in Lebanon, (…) on Tuesday, Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese channel Al-Manar reported that an Israeli drone attacked a site in southern Lebanon’s Beit Lif, with additional strikes in Deir Siryan later in the day.
Since the cease-fire took effect, the IDF has mainly fired for the sake of deterring, frequently targeting residents and activists attempting to return to southern Lebanese villages. The military has also been active in Syria, Gaza and the Beqaa Valley. (…)
In the West Bank, an Israeli Air Force drone twice struck a terrorist cell at the entrance to Al ‘Aqaba, near Tubas in the West Bank, which was planning to execute an attack. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported two fatalities, with a third terrorist moderately injured before being evacuated to a local hospital. (…)
Israeli forces carried out operations in the southern and northern Gaza Strip. Palestinian media reported on Tuesday that eight people were killed and over 20 injured in several strikes in Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza. The reports claimed the strikes targeted “areas near school shelters” in the region.

Remind me, wasn’t the Lebanese Army supposed to keep Hezbollah from coming back south of the Litani River? Wasn’t that in the “cease-fire” agreement?
And they kept that commitment for a few hours.
Infidels can be SO gullible.
Predictably, France has accused ISRAEL of ceasefire violations for responding to the violations by Hizbollah. You can’t make this stuff up.
We must remember, Hezbollah broke the “truce” first. THe left (Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.) have no moral compass.
Hizbollah is not part of the left and neither is Hamas. They seek support from the left and they get that support in spades, but the only goals they share with the left are the destruction of the west. Everything else is just a temporary marriage of convenience.
Hezbollah and Hamas are not well disciplined military organizations. The politicians and “generals” can decide anything they want and give “orders” to that effect but if Ahmed and Mohammad get bored down there in the tunnel, they’re gonna lob a few mortar shells into Israel just for the hell of it.
You don’t get much of a grasp of “the big picture” down there in the tunnels you know.
Does it matter why or who breaks the truce?
I have to say, X is really full of those terrorists lying about everything. Sure wish Musk would put disclaimers on their constant lies.
Looks like we have unceasing examples of cessation of the ceasefire.
Why on earth did the United States State Department just APPROVE the sale of state-of-the-art Javelin fire-and-forget anti-tank missiles to …….. Tunisia?
https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-831864
If this sale goes through, these highly effective weapons will be passed along to Hamas Hezballah in no time at all.
Why would Tunisia need anti-tank weapons? They don’t.
This seems like an AntonyBlinkenBarackObama F**k you to Israel.
Can it be stopped?
Obviously, Netanyahu is more intelligent than the puppet Biden handlers. He accepted a “temporary” ceasefire while reserving the right to retaliation against the expected Hezbollah violations; he temporarily accepted the Biden anti-Israel ceasefire knowing that the Big Guy Biden is a lame duck; He knows that pro-Israel Trump will be in power soon; and that the “temporary” ceasefire does not apply to actions in Syria, Iran, the ancestral Israelite lands of the Gaza strip, the West Bank, or any other nation/terrorist group (Houthis, etc.) that attack Israel, and any nation that harbors anti-Israel terrorists, deliberately or not.
