Lebanese security sources have revealed to Al Mayadeen some information about the case of Mohammad Srour, who was found killed after being tortured in a house in Beit Meri, Lebanon. 

Srour, who works in currency exchange, was lured to the residence of a woman named Zeinab Hamoud, who had asked him to deliver $14,000. The money is said to have been collected from Iraq, sources told Al Mayadeen. The martyr then withdrew the aforementioned amount and headed to the residence alongside his nephew on a motorcycle. 

Hamoud, an agent of the Mossad, received the money from behind her residence's window because Srour who was expected to be alone was accompanied by another person. 

Security sources said that a few days later, $4,000 intended for Hamoud was transferred to Srour's business, who then headed to the woman's residence to deliver the transferred money, this time on his own. This is when Srour was abducted, tortured, and later killed. 

Srour's killers used silenced firearms to torture and kill him and the murder weapons were left in buckets filled with water and detergents hoping to erase their fingerprints from them.

On Wednesday, sources told Al Mayadeen that Srour was severely tortured by Israeli Mossad agents before he was executed.

The killers transferred martyr Srour to an apartment rented for one month located in the town of Beit Meri, north of Beirut, to interrogate him using extreme violence, sources told Al Mayadeen.

Lebanese security circles confirm that Srour was subjected to severe torture before he was killed, and it is strongly believed that the Israeli Mossad was behind the operation. Moreover, Srour was subjected to interrogation while he was handcuffed, and the killers were in direct contact with "Tel Aviv" during the violent interrogation, according to our sources.

Srour was shot multiple times across his body as a form of torture, receiving more than 10 bullets.

Who is Mohammad Srour?

Mohammad Srour was a Lebanese man sanctioned for allegedly transferring millions of dollars to Palestinian Resistance factions in the Gaza Strip. Said to have worked in currency exchanges and money transfers, Srour hails from the Lebanese town of Labweh in the northern Bekaa Valley. He was found killed in a villa in the town of Beit Meri on Tuesday, with several gunshot wounds to his legs, an unnamed Lebanese security source told Reuters, indicating that he was tortured before being killed. 

A large sum of money was also found on him, which has led Lebanese security authorities to conclude that Srour had been subject to violent interrogation, not attempted theft. 

The United States Treasury sanctioned him in 2019, saying that he had transferred "tens of millions of dollars per year" between the Iranian Islamic Revolution Guard Corps' (IRGC) Quds Force and Hamas' military wing, al-Qassam Brigades. The Treasury claims that Srour was affiliated with the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon - Hezbollah, however, Reuters says that Srour has no formal or senior role with the Resistance party. 

In March, a top U.S. Treasury representative visited Lebanon to press officials to halt financial transfers to Hamas. A source at Lebanon's central bank told Reuters that Lebanon had denied such transfers were taking place.
