After Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah again vows to respond to the alleged Israeli strike in Beirut on Tuesday that killed Hamas terror chief Saleh Al-Arouri, a former head of IDF military intelligence warns that Hezbollah could strike at Israelis overseas.
“The chief of staff, northern command chief and homefront command chief need to assume” that Nasrallah will “fire rockets deeper into Israel, and with heavier warheads,” says Major General (res.) Amos Yadlin.
“We also need to be prepared” for Nasrallah to act against Israelis overseas, he stresses.
“After Mughniyeh, he hit Israeli tourists in Bulgaria,” Yadlin recalls, referring to the assassinated Hezbollah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in a car bombing in Damascus in 2008. Four years later, five Israeli tourists and their Bulgarian bus driver were killed in a suicide bombing at Burgas airport, Bulgaria, in which Hezbollah was implicated.
