Lebanese Forces leader blames Hezbollah, not Israel, for party member's death in strike

Samir Geagea, head of Lebanon's Christian Lebanese Forces party, says Israel targeted an Iranian Quds Force operative in yesterday's strike in Ain Saadeh east of Beirut that killed party member Pierre Maouch, his wife, and another woman. Geagea does not criticize Israel over the deaths but instead blames Hezbollah for running "a state within a state." There is understanding among Christians that the strike was not intended to harm them, according to Geagea.
