The new chief-of-staff of Syrian armed forces: correction

Do you know that the new Syrian chief-of-staff, `Ali Ayyub is a Shi`ite from Bin Jubayl in South Lebanon?

PS Correction.  I received information from a relative of Ayyub who knows him that he is not from Bint Jubayl in Lebanon but from Jablah in Syria.
PPS No, I am told that my original post is correct and that indeed the family is originally from Bint Jubayl and related to the Bazzis of the city.
