Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Imad Mughniyeh snuffed???
2006-07-28
TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Israeli military intelligence has assessed that Hizbullah's intelligence chief could have been killed in a massive air strike on the movement's headquarters in Lebanon.
Here's hoping, though it probably won't be confirmed for 20 years...
Israeli sources said Imad Mughniyeh was believed to have been seriously injured or killed in a July 19 strike on Hizbullah headquarters in Beirut. The sources said Mughniyeh was in Hizbullah's command and control bunker during an Israeli air bombing that damaged the facility.
Pray for sepsis.
"There are things we know and things we don't know," an Israeli source said. "We know their top people are out of commission." The sources said about 12 senior members of Hizbullah attended a meeting at its command headquarters in Beirut's Dahya neighborhood on July 19. They said Israeli F-15I fighters dropped 23 tons of munition that damaged but did not destroy the underground bunker, concealed under a mosque and constructed by Iran.

#4  There are things we know and things we don't know," an Israeli source said.
And unknown things we know about and known things that are uncertain. I would advise the unknown source to be careful in his remarks, unless it's me, which would be unhelpful.

#3  From the JPost:
"Shalhov was hit by IAF missiles while traveling in a car in the Bekaa Valley, and a number of other Hizbullah operatives were also killed in the attack. The car was packed with missiles when it was hit."

Israeli intel may still be pretty good, if they are picking out individual cars back in the Bekaa to blast. Reminds me of the situation a year or so back where every few days some Hamas target got picked off by a missile - they had to be getting pretty nervous about even leaving their bunkers, and probably suspicious of everyone around them. Similar situation in HezbAlland should be making Nasry nervous - and Mugsy too, if he's not dead yet.
