Israel intends to assassinate Palestinian officials in Lebanon
[An Nahar] Lebanon has been warned that the Israeli Mossad intends to assassinate Palestinian officials in Lebanon, topped by Hamas senior leaders Saleh al-Arouri and Osama Hamdan and Islamic Jihad chief Ziad al-Nakhalah, diplomatic sources said.

“The threats are high and require extraordinary measures,” the sources told ad-Diyar newspaper in remarks published Friday, saying that French intelligence chief Bernard Emie had warned -- without mentioning names -- of such a scenario during his latest visit to Beirut.

“French President Emmanuel Macron relieved Emie of his duties and replaced him with Nicolas Lerner hours ago, which is a suspicious timing that indicates that Emie might have paid the price of these leaks,” ad-Diyar added.

#2 During a visit to Beirut last week, Emmanuel Macron's emissary Jean-Yves Le Drian... called for stabilizing the situation in southern Lebanon...
The latest French figure to enter the scene, with the same objective in mind, is Bernard Émié, head of the Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) and former ambassador to Lebanon. A few days ago, the head of foreign intelligence held meetings with several officials during a visit kept away from the media. He held talks with Speaker of Parliament Nabih Berry, Hezbollah, troop leader Joseph Aoun and the acting director of General Security, Elias Baissari.
Emie, who was on his way out,likely let the cat out of the bag. But who reported on Emie? The CIA is my guess.
