‘Better die fighting Israel than Syria’
A Lebanese paper publishes an analysis of the mood in Hezbollah following the assassination Sunday of Jihad Mughniyeh and five other members of the terror group. The article, quoting unnamed Lebanese sources, says there are undercurrents in Nasrallah’s organization that are calling for an immediate response against Israel.
“Hezbollah is facing a serious test for the society it represents. If they don’t taste the taste of fire soon, the solidity of the organization may be badly harmed,” NRG quoted from the paper.
Fighters in the terror group have been saying “We prefer to die as shahids fighting the Israeli enemy than fighting Syria,” the website says.
