In Search of Another Mugnyeh

Haaretz reports that Hizballah has a tough time finding another Imad Mugnyeh.

  1. The guy was a genius.
  2. There is no point to negate that Hizballah is a strong local and regional non state player, and in this context, it is better to have Lebanese instead of Iranians for whatever it is they want to do next. ( A Lebanese will probably care more of what happens to Lebanon than an Iranian.)
  3. Who’d want an imbecile in charge of Hizballah’s military apparatus?!

Hizballah will continue to alternate between militant mode and political pragmatism in order to advance its agenda.  If nothing explodes will be a continuation of the same in the land of the Cedars.
