It's Wednesday, December 24, and the Mossad has been busy in Lebanon. According to the Saudi paper Al Arabiya, Israeli agents abducted an ex-Lebanese security official, Ahmed Shukr.

You might recognize the last name. He’s the cousin of Fuad Shukr—Hezbollah’s chief of staff, the man who had a $5 million bounty on his head until he was taken out by Israel last year after the massacre of 12 Druze children in Majdal Shams.

But how do the dots connect? Why take Ahmed?
