Nawar a-Sahili, a member of the Lebanese parliament from Hezbollah, has accused Israel of assassinating Mustafa Badr a-Din, the head of Hezbollah's military wing.
"This is an open war. We don't intend to bypass an investigation's finding, but Israel is certainly behind the action," he claimed. A-Sahili further threatened that "the resistance will carry out its duties at the appropriate time."
