#1 Clashes between Hezbollah-linked Ansar Allah and the Fatah movement broke out at Sidon's Mieh-Mieh refugee camp on 15 October 2018 involving Sunni and Shia factions. A deal to end the clashes and restore stability was brokered by Hezbollah. Since then the Shiites have taken charge.

Yeah, something about that smells. Given that the story is filtered through Journalism ("thru a glass stupidly..."), I wonder if it was a recon or damage assessment mission.

#6 ... or an SEAD mission but the targets wouldn't turn on their radars for fear of getting "suppressed".
