They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
According to military sources, al-Attar was struck by a missile while driving near Shaat, a town in the Hezbollah-dominated Baalbek district, approximately 100 kilometers from the Israeli border. His death is viewed by the IDF as a critical setback to Hezbollah’s capabilities, particularly in air defense.
Al-Attar, who had reportedly acquired his expertise during visits to Iran, played a pivotal role in facilitating the acquisition of Iranian weapons for Hezbollah. His involvement had elevated him to a key position within the terror organization’s ranks.
