"Hezbollah and Iran have both blamed Israel for the bombing that blew up Mughniyeh's SUV in Damascus."
We know that Assad & the Alawites (heh-heh
my favorite lounge lizards appearing nightly at the Holiday Inn) supposedly have a "lock" on Damascus and the nation. A "police state", right? This wouldn't be the first time that the Israelis have made a Damascus hit. Nor others.
You'd think that Mughniyeh would operate w/ impunity in Syria as a senior minion of Nasrallah. Clearly not. I suppose I'm surprised by how seemingly vulnerable Syria is to these ops. This, btw, is a hell of an operation against a very big and very careful target. Actually quite amazing.
