Today, a retired policeman of the Internal Security Forces, Antoine Yusef Al-Hayek, was found murdered inside a shop he owned in his village, Mya and Mya, in southern Lebanon, in an incident that came days after the authorities released a detained Israeli agent and left for the United States in a controversial way.

According to local media, Al-Hayek was responsible in the Khiyam detention center, and one of those close to the agent to Israel, Amer al-Fakhouri, and served with him in the Khiyam detention center, where he worked as a prisoner at the time.

Al-Hayek, 58, was shot by an unknown unknown person with a silencer from a distance in his shop in the town of Al-Mayya and Maya, killing him on the spot, according to local media.

Hayek had been tried in the military court on charges of dealing with Israel, killing and torturing prisoners, and he went out then with the passage of time.

It seemed interesting that the assassination of Hayek came days after the charges were dropped by the military judiciary in Lebanon on Monday, by Amer al-Fakhouri, in the case of kidnapping, arresting and torturing Lebanese citizens during the days of the Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon in 1998.

In Thursday's remarks, US President Donald Trump thanked the Lebanese government for its cooperation with Washington to release Al-Fakhouri, stressing that the priority of the US government is to protect its citizens, indicating that Al-Fakhouri holds his nationality.

On Thursday, al-Fakhouri left Lebanon in a helicopter from the US embassy in Awkar, east of Beirut, according to a security source. Trump announced that Al-Fakhouri had returned to the United States. His release and his departure from Lebanon sparked outrage among a wide range of Lebanese.

There was no official comment from the authorities on Hayek's death, but a judicial source did not exclude, in a statement to Agence France-Presse, "a link" with the Fakhouri case.

The head of the military court, Brigadier General Hussein Abdullah Abdullah, submitted his resignation on Friday, in protest against his criticism campaign.

Al-Fakhouri is the military commander of the Khiyam prison, which Israel adopted to imprison Lebanese prisoners during its occupation in southern Lebanon. He then fled to Israel in 2000 and obtained his citizenship.
