Hizbullah Leader's Brother Killed In Syria Clashes
2013-06-20
[IsraelTimes] Khader Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader's brother, was buried earlier this month in southern Leb after reportedly dying in battle in the Syrian town of Qusair in late May.

A video uploaded to YouTube showed crowds of Hezbollah supporters, holding yellow flags bearing the Shiite militia's emblem, pictures of Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah and garlands, accompanying Khader's coffin in a funeral parade in the southern village of Qana. Hezbollah fighters bore the coffin.

The Hezbollah chieftain was spotted by an Al Monitor news hound in the Syrian town of Qusair, weeks after the fight between Syrian rebels, Hezbollah, and Assad forces ended in a opposition defeat.

Nasrallah's son Hadi was killed in a firefight with the IDF in southern Leb in 1997, and his remains were exchanged in a swap with Hezbollah for the body of an elite IDF solider a year later.

#2  I am sure Nasrallah was on scene to help send off his brother. At this point it might be enlightening to recall the words of Henry Adams' great-granddaughter Wednesday, "No wait".
