Reserve General Ya'akov Amidor, the former head of the National Security Council, says that the dead of Mustafa Badr a-Din is good news for Israel. Badr a-Din was the head of Hezbollah's military wing.
Amidor told Army Radio that "This is good for the State of Israel. We don't know if Israel was responsible for it. Whoever is active in Syria today has many enemies in Syria aside from the State of Israel. But the more experienced operators who disappear from the wanted lists, the better."
