The irony of Trump's opposition to the strike in Beirut (and reported tirade against Bibi Netanyahu):
The IDF's target was a Hezbollah commander who was responsible for planning an operation 20 years ago that led to the kidnapping and murder of 5 American soldiers in Karbala, Iraq. He was arrested and imprisoned in Iraq for his part in the attack but was later released by the Iraqi government in 2012 after the US withdrawal. He was then added to the US list of designated terrorists.
After his release, Ali Dakdouk became the commander of the "Golan Network" which oversaw Hezbollah operations in Southwest Syria during the civil war, exposed by Israel in 2019, before returning to Lebanon, where he was killed by the IDF today.
Once again, Israel is working on behalf of the American people, and this time, was chastised for the favor.
This is Ali Moussa Dakdouk, a senior Hezbollah commander.
- He is personally responsible for a terror attack in 2007 targeting U.S. troops.
- He was imprisoned by the U.S. and had a bounty of $5M on his head.
- He also managed the “Golan Portfolio” - Hezbollah’s plan to invade and take over northern Israel.
Dakdouk was eliminated by the IDF as he led the fighting for Hezbollah in south Lebanon. He will no longer terrorise U.S. troops, nor the peoples of Israel and Lebanon.
