TL;DR

Hezbollah circulated a list of ten named Lebanese officers and diplomats on Saturday, branding it an 'invitation to murder' for their involvement in the agreement with Israel, according to a report from the group's affiliated channels. Those named include retired generals and active colonels as well as two ambassadors and a consul.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Hezbollah-affiliated channels circulated a post Saturday morning explicitly naming ten Lebanese officers and diplomats it accuses of being responsible for the agreement with Israel, labeling the list an "invitation to murder." The named individuals — published in both Arabic and Hebrew — include retired Brigadier Generals Georges Rizkallah, Olivier Hikma, and Ziad Rizkallah; Colonels Wael Abbas, Rashad Bou Karoum, Mazen al-Haj, and Wadie Rafoul; Ambassador Simon Karam and Ambassador Nada Hamadeh Moawad, and Consul Wissam Boutros. The post does not provide specific evidence of their involvement but singles them out for public targeting, framing the threat as a direct consequence of the deal they helped advance. Hezbollah has in recent weeks escalated its rhetorical and operational threats against Lebanese officials linked to the US-brokered framework with Israel, which the organization has formally rejected as a surrender to American and Israeli dictates. The threat follows a pattern of intimidation: earlier this month, the group warned it would destroy Israeli forces in Lebanon if the agreement is violated, and in separate statements accused the Lebanese government of acting as a rubber stamp for Washington. The Zioneer has reported extensively on Hezbollah's campaign to delegitimize the agreement, including its formal refusal through institutional channels on June 5 and its demand on June 26 to scrap the deal entirely. The named officers and diplomats have not yet publicly responded to the threat, and security forces in Lebanon have not announced any protective measures.
