Al Arabiya: Nasrallah assassinated his own top general in 2016
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA top Hezbollah commander killed in Syria last year was likely assassinated by the group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah, in coordination with Iran, Arab news network Al Arabiya reports.
Mustafa Badreddine was killed in a Damascus blast in May 2016 which Hezbollah blamed on shelling by Islamist rebels.
Al Arabiya says Iran and Nasrallah planned Badreddine’s killing due to the commander’s repeated clashes with Iranian officials over leadership of the war efforts in Syria.
