"Israel" planned to assassinate Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah a number of days after the ceasefire went into effect, Channel 2 News reported on Monday night.
There were many opinions heard on Monday after Nasrallah addressed hundreds of thousands of supporters in southern Beirut over the weekend.
MK (Yisrael Beitenu) Avigdor Lieberman stated Nasrallah should not have left the event alive. Former Mossad Director Shabtai Shavit told Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) on Monday that if the situation permitted, he would have ordered the leader be taken out during the victory rally over the weekend,
National Infrastructure Minister (Labor) Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, a former defense (War) minister, disagreed; stating such a move over the weekend would have placed northern "Israel" under attack once again, in the heart of the holiday season.
