Nasrallah: Compound in Syria targeted by Israel tied to Hezbollah, not Iran

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah accuses Prime Minister Netanyahu of lying when he said a compound in Syria targeted in an Israeli strike was being used by Iran’s Quds Force for drone attacks on Israel.

“Netanyahu and the enemy’s army announced that an al-Quds Force center was attacked and those attacked were Iranians. He did all that and presented himself as national and brave hero… He is lying to his people. He is selling them nonsense and is going against the facts on the ground,” Nasrallah says.

“Yesterday, the Israeli Air Force did not raid an al-Quds Force center, but rather a Hezbollah center. It wasn’t a military site. It was a house… The place that was bombarded only had Lebanese youth from Hezbollah. In that place, two martyrs fell,” he adds.

Nasrallah identifies the two Hezbollah members killed in Syria as Hassan Yousef Zabeeb and Nasser Ahmad Daher.
