Back on Julay 31, Abu Malek al-Talli and his family – including Eurwat – and dozens of other HTS fighters were evacuated from Jurod Arsal area in eastern Lebanon, within the framework of agreement between Hezbollah and HTS.

Abu Malek al-Talli is believed to be the most wanted terrorist by the Lebanese authorities because of his role in the al-Nusra Front (now known as HTS) attack on Arsal town inside Leabnon in 2014. According to Hezbollah and the Lebanese authorities, Abu Malek al-Talli was the one who decided to execute the Lebanese Army soldiers who were kidnaped by the al-Nusra Front during its attack.

Several Hezbollah-linked activists and media outlets called on Hezbollah to assassinate al-Talli after he was evacuated to Idlib governorate in Syria. However, HTS has not accused Hezbollah or another side of killing Eurwat so far.
