Israel Releases Hassan Nasrallah
Three weeks after capturing him along with four other men near Baalbek, Israel released Monday Hassan Deeb Nasrallah and his colleagues who arrived home late in the day. The released man carries the same name of the Hezbollah leader but the middle name differs.From the first day of the August 2, capture in a commando operation, Israel had been saying that the five were Hezbollah members, a claim that the group kept denying.
After the release of the five, one of the men, Bilal Nasrallah, said the Israelis thought he was the son of Hezbollah's leader.
The raid to capture the five left 19 people dead.
As-safir interviewed the men after they returned home.

Hey Bassam, I love your blog. You should know that the achilles heal of Israel is the Yitzhak Rabin murder conspiracy. The whole court case in online including the "Kempler Video" of the murder.
Just search for "David Rutstein" in google and everything is there.
"achhilles heel"?
more like a joke.
The Rabin conspiracy is a hodge-podge theory like the JFKennedy conspiracy. It is a crazy theory that flourishes in a country when there is a free press and the government does not terrorize journalists. If Syrica, Iran and Saudi Araba had free presses then you would have more conspiracy theories.
Geez Louise. I hope they don't start looking for guys named Mohamed.
Either way, though, Baalbek is a hella cool name for a city, and no one can ever take that away.
