Sheikh Mohammed Ali Hamadi, a senior leader of Hezbollah, was shot dead by unidentified assailants near his home in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. Reports indicate that Hamadi was shot six times by the attackers. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, he succumbed to his injuries, according to The Times of Israel.
Hamadi was a key figure in Hezbollah and had been implicated in various high-profile incidents, including the hijacking of a plane with 153 passengers and crew members traveling from Athens to Rome. He was placed on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list.
Lebanese authorities have initiated an investigation into the assassination. The incident comes just days before the expiration of a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, raising further concerns about the region’s security dynamics
