This news is a sign that Israel is winning. On the other hand, fears circulate that the war on Hamas could drag in Hizballah for a full-scale war with Israel. However, the Red Sea coalition of nations with naval vessels in the region, which drew a rebuke from Iran, serves as a reminder of the threat of world war should the Gaza war expand. Note that the fleeing Hamas officials were “deported to Syria and Turkey,” while “senior leader Ghazi Hamad had reportedly fled to Qatar.” Turkey and Qatar heavily support the Muslim Brotherhood, of which Hamas is an offshoot, while Syria is a close ally to Iran.
“Hamas leaders in Lebanon flee country in fears of Israeli assassination – report,” by Tal Spungin, Jerusalem Post, January 14, 2024:
Most of Hamas’s military leaders based in Beirut escaped the Lebanese capital due to fears of being targets of assassinations, KAN News reported Sunday night, citing a source within Hamas.
As per the source in the Gaza-based terrorist group, Hamas has taken significant measures to ensure their leaders’ security following the targeted killing of Hamas deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri, widely attributed to Israel.
Arouri was killed along with at least five other people in an alleged Israeli drone strike in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Arouri was not only viewed as one of the master planners of Hamas’s October 7 massacre in southern Israel.
According to the KAN report, Hamas officials left Lebanon and soon were deported to Syria and Turkey. In addition, senior leader Ghazi Hamad had reportedly fled to Qatar and has not returned to Lebanon since Arouri’s assassination.

Hmm, ‘deported’… Sounds like they outstayed their welcome… Now why would that be? Any clue anyone?

I think it is time to stop pretending, Islam declared its world war of conquest, slavery, looting murder and domination 1400 years ago. By their rules peace will only come when the rest of the world is dead or under their control. War is declared by ONE side who has no concern for the consent of the other. In 1400 years depending on who is counting and where they look, between 250 and 1000 million people have been killed in Islam’s declared world war. When will the Viktor Frankl “delusion of reprieve” end?

I read that some of them ended up in our good old NATO ally Turkey.
Anybody else not surprised?

One thing that Hugh had reported weeks ago – about Hamas leaders fleeing Qatar for places like Syria or Lebanon – is unfounded. Hamas doesn’t have a safer & more supportive place in the world than Qatar
OLD GUY says
Nothing says COWARD louder than your Muslim/Islamic leaders running and hiding in LUXURY while their followers suffer and die to support them.

The song “Dollar Bills” (Hamas parody song) is brilliant, as are the other parodies by that Israeli comedy group.
