[IsraelTimes] Automated phone calls and messages sent during terror chief’s speech accuse him of murdering subordinate Mustafa Badreddine.Many of the texts and calls were identified as coming from Hezbollah’s official public relations offices.
| *snicker* How humiliating. |
Nasrallah made the televised speech Thursday on the one-year anniversary of Badreddine’s death.
Israel’s IDF Chief Gadi Eisenkot said earlier this year that Badreddine was killed by his own men. An investigative report by the Saudi Al Arabiya news network said Nasrallah likely ordered the liquidation.
Badreddine was killed on May 10, 2016 in a mysterious kaboom near Damascus airport shortly after a meeting with his commanders, according to Lebanese media. Badreddine had inherited the leadership of Hezbollah’s terrorist operations from former commander and cousin Imad Mughniyeh, who is believed to have been assassinated by Israel in 2008. Badreddine’s sister, Saada, was reportedly married to Mughniyeh.
