EXCLUSIVE: A rare glimpse inside the workings of Sydney's biggest gang war: How the Alameddines have 'picked off the Hamzys like flies' - and why they 'keep coming out on top' in bloody battle

The Alameddine organised crime network will 'be on top' in Sydney's underworld gang wars for the foreseeable future after picking off almost every senior member of the Hamzy network 'like flies', sources have revealed.

The warring western Sydney families have been vying for turf, drug contracts and status for more than a decade but detectives have never seen the battle so one sided.

Lebanese noble family

The Alam al-Dins, also spelled Alamuddin or Alameddine, were a Druze family that intermittently held or contested the paramount chieftainship of the Druze districts of Mount Lebanon in opposition to the Ma'n and Shihab families in the late 17th and early 18th centuries during Ottoman rule. Their origins were obscure, with different accounts claiming or proposing Tanukhid or Ma'nid ancestry. From at least the early 17th century, they were the traditional leaders of the Yaman faction among the Druzes, which stood in opposition to the Qays, led by the Tanukhid Buhturs, traditional chiefs of the Gharb area south of Beirut, and the Ma'ns. A likely chief of the family, Muzaffar al-Andari, led the Druze opposition to the powerful Ma'nid leader Fakhr al-Din II until reconciling with him in 1623.
