Follow up to this story from yesterday.

[Rudaw] The Israeli army said on Monday it killed a Lebanese Hezbollah official in Syria responsible for the group’s finances, less than a month after taking down his predecessor.

The unidentified man led Hezbollah’s Unit 4400, which is "responsible for the transfers and the amount of funds" to the group through Iran’s oil sales in cooperation with Syria, Israeli army spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement.

...an Iranian satrapy until recently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...

Syrian state media also reported an Israeli strike on the Mazzeh neighborhood of Damascus, labeling the casualties as "civilians."

targeting a civilian car in the residential neighborhood of Mazzeh in Damascus, which led to the martyrdom of two civilians and the injury of three others," Syria’s state-run SANA news agency said, citing a military source.

Unit 4400 was previously managed by Mohammed Jaafar Ksir, known as Sheikh Salah, who "managed the terrorist organization’s main source of income for years, until we eliminated him in a assassination in Beirut in early October," according to Hagari.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor, said a non-Syrian man "and his ~~lover~~ companion were killed as a result of an Israeli strike on a car in the Mazzeh neighborhood."

The Observatory said the men were attending a memorial ceremony for Hamas

The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
