An Israeli helicopter strike in Syria killed a commander from Lebanon's Hezbollah and the son of the group's late military leader Imad Moughniyah, sources close to Hezbollah said, in a major blow that could lead to reprisal attacks.
The Daily Star reports that an Iranian field commander was also killed in the strike. Other reports claim that more than one Iranian officer died.
The strike hit a convoy carrying Jihad Moughniyah and other Hezbollah members including commander Abu Issa, in the Syrian province of Quneitra, near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, Lebanese sources said, killing five Hezbollah members in all.
Not sure how to feel about this. I think Hezbollah is on the wrong side of things but it's clearly doing what its people want. I wonder if they would be less anti-Zionist and less anti-West if they were given space.
