Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is delivering an address in the wake of the assassination — allegedly at Israel’s hands — of the terrorist Samir Kuntar on Saturday night.
During his televised speech, he accuses Israel of firing guided missiles at the building that houses Kuntar.
“We have no doubt that the Israeli enemy was behind the assassination in a blatant military operation,” he says, according to the Naharnet news site.
He also condemns Syrian reports to the effect that it wasn’t Israel, but rather rebels, who killed Kuntar.
He refuses to comment on reports that the Israeli jets fired their missiles from within Israeli territory.
