Hezbollah's chief Hassan Nasrallah has apparently gone into hiding – from his own allies.
Channel 12 news analyst Ehud Yaari dropped this bombshell report: Nasrallah pint blank refused to meet with Syrian Intelligence Chief General Hussam Luka in Beirut. Luka, dispatched by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad himself, had to settle for second place with Nasrallah's second-in-command, Sheikh Naim Qassem, and Hezbollah's security chief Wafiq Safa.
Why the cold shoulder? Lebanese sources whisper that Nasrallah is playing a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek, desperate to keep his location under wraps. This paranoia comes hot on the heels of the recent takedowns of Hamas bigwig Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah's own military chief, Fouad Shukr.
But there's more to this snub than personal safety. Yaari's report hints at growing friction between Hezbollah and their Syrian pals. The bone of contention? Assad's reluctance to jump into the fray against Israel from the Syrian Golan.
Hezbollah is reportedly gearing up for a potential clash with Israel. With tensions skyrocketing and alliances on shaky ground, Nasrallah's vanishing act isn't a good look for Hezbollah.
