Unlike most assassinations, the IDF gave Termos a warning.
When reality is harsher than fiction.Yesterday, in the town of Tallouseh, the martyr Ahmad Termos (62) was on a family visit. He was sitting with his wife in her brother's house. The sound of a drone overhead, then another. He had barely stepped inside to sit when his phone rang.
Ahmad answered.The voice on the line was cold and clear:"Is this Ahmad Termos?""Yes", he replied."This is the Israeli army, Ahmad. You either die with those around you… or alone."Without hesitation, he answered: "Alone."He hung up. His face changed. His brother-in-law, Salim, looked at him and asked, "What happened, Ahmad?"Calmly and decisively, he said: "The Israelis. Get up and leave. They say either you die with me… or I die alone."He did not beg. He did not shout. He asked them to leave, to survive, to let him face his fate alone. They refused at first, insisting they would not leave him, that they would die with him. He steadied them, then convinced them to go.For a moment, he forgot he wasn't in his own home. Then he realized it. He did not want death to come in a house that was not his. He chose to take death away from them. He asked them to stay while he left. He said goodbye. He got into his car, started the engine, drove away from the house, then parked.Seconds passed. The drone fired two missiles.The car burned. Ahmad's body was torn apart. He burned… but his story remains. He is one of the heroes of our time.
Take away the rhetoric, and the story is clear: Israel wanted to eliminate one of the key people breaking the ceasefire agreement, and went through great pains to ensure that no civilians would be hurt.
Calling Termos a hero for choosing not to let his family die and his brother-in-law's house be destroyed is a very low bar for heroism.
Apparently, this happens often. Mortada adds:
Before Ahmad, another young man was driving with his wife beside him. He received the same call. He stopped the car. He helped his wife out. He moved her away. Then he drove on alone, toward the missile.These are scenes that repeat themselves in the South [of Lebanon].
It never occurs to these Hezbollah groupies that if the terror group would have followed the ceasefire agreement and dismantled its military infrastructure in southern Lebanon, even their own terrorists wouldn't be killed today.
One commenter realized that the story was not quite the story if sadistic psychological torture of innocent Lebanese as it was written:
Your statement contradicts the claim that the occupation army targets civilians. May God have mercy on the martyrs and accept them, but be careful when phrasing news so that you do not serve their enemy.
In fact, this is a story of heroism - Israeli heroism in saving innocent Lebanese lives while eliminating those who are trying to murder Jews. No amount of flowery language around how "heroic" Hezbollah terrorists are takes that away.
