Fears for Israeli travelers, Nasrallah after Fakhrizadeh hit — TV

Channel 12 news reports that Jerusalem fears Israelis visiting the UAE may be targeted by Iran seeking retaliation for the assassination of scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh alleged to be the father of the country’s nuclear weapons program.

The UAE, which also considers Iran an enemy, lies less than 100 miles across the Persian Gulf from Iran.

Channel 13 reports that meanwhile, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is staying put and canceling any “movements,” fearing that he may be next on the US-Israeli hit list.

Nasrallah has thought to be a target of Israel for years, where some officials have mocked him for staying in a “bunker” and only making very rare public appearances. Such a hit by Israel would likely seriously inflame the region.

“Fakhrizadeh’s activities had to be stopped. The world is a safer place without him,” Channel 13 quotes an Israeli source saying.
