Daily Star - Israeli commissions confirm Nasrallah's footage authentic - Septebmer 8th, 2010

BEIRUT: Two commissions formed by the Israeli Army said footage displayed by Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in August of a 1996 resistance operation to ambush an Israeli commando force was authentic, Israeli daily Maariv reported Tuesday.

The two commissions were formed to investigate the legitimacy of the material presented by Nasrallah during a news conference on August 2 as evidence of Israel’s involvement in the 2005 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.

Nasrallah presented footage he said came from Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles and the testimony of a suspected Israeli spy. – The Daily Star
