The IDF has achieved great success during the ongoing Israeli army operation in Lebanon. The Israeli army has killed Hassan Jafar Kasir, son-in-law of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, in an attack. Hasan Qasir's family is considered the royal family of terrorism. One of his brothers, Ahmed Qassir, is Hezbollah's first 'martyr', while another brother, Mohammed Qassir, is also playing a major role in the organization in terms of arms delivery.
Kasir family has old enmity with Israel
Hassan Kassir's brother Ahmed Kassir committed suicide in 1982 during the Lebanon War. On 11 November 1982, Ahmed drove into an Israeli base in Tyre, Lebanon, with a car loaded with explosives. This was the first suicide bombing in the history of Lebanon.
Operation Peace for Galilee
In 1982, the Israeli army launched 'Operation Peace for Galilee' in Lebanon. Its objective was to drive out the Palestinian fighters present in Lebanon. During this time, Israeli forces reached Beirut, after which Palestinian militia fighters left Lebanon. But Israeli forces remained in Lebanon, causing anger among the Lebanese people. It is believed that Hezbollah was founded to drive Israeli forces out of Lebanon. Increasing protests and attacks led Israeli forces to withdraw from Lebanon in 1985.
Ahmed Qassir – Hezbollah's first 'martyr'
Ahmad Qasir's suicide attack was protected by a fatwa from Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Since then Ahmed Qasir is considered the first 'martyr' of Hezbollah and Hezbollah celebrates this day as 'Martyr's Day'. Ahmed was very close to Hezbollah founder Imad Mughaniya. While Hassan Qasir and Mohammad Qasir joined Hezbollah from a young age.
Hassan's brother Mohammad Qasir is a global terrorist
Mohammad Qasir is playing an important role in transporting weapons from Syria to Iran. America had also placed a reward of 10 million dollars on Mohammad Kasir. In 2018, the US Treasury Department designated Hassan's brother Mohammad Qasir as a global terrorist.
Hassan Qasir killed in Israeli air strike
According to the information, Hassan Jafar Qasir was killed in an air strike in Meja near Damascus on Wednesday. It is being told that the Israeli army targeted an apartment in a residential building and killed two people including Hassan. The assassination of Hassan Qasir is being considered as another blow to Hezbollah. He was the son-in-law of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah and a member of the Qassir family.
Big blow to Israel in Lebanon
Israeli forces are carrying out ground operations in Lebanon. Meanwhile, 8 Israeli soldiers have been killed in a Hezbollah attack on Wednesday. Hezbollah also claimed to have destroyed three Israeli Merkava tanks moving towards the village of Maroun al-Ras in southern Lebanon. According to the information, a few hours after this attack by Hezbollah, the Israeli army attacked in Meja and killed Hasan Qasir.
