The officials say it isn’t clear what the operative, identified as Bilal Hassan, was doing with the bomb and now it got onto his home.
Initial reports were conflicting. Lebanon’s private Al-Jadeed TV says Hassan was actually holding a grenade cartridge for a rocket-propelled-grenade launcher.
The state-run National News Agency said a “strange object” exploded in his house on the edge of the southern port-city of Sidon.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
They said Hezbollah members inspected Hassan’s house after the blast and were later followed by policemen who opened an investigation in the case.
Now this is STRANGE……they didn’t blame Israel yet….
“The officials say it isn’t clear what the operative, identified as Bilal Hassan, was doing with the bomb and now it got onto his home.”
Ummmmm, juggling? Using it as a suppository?
How did it get into his home? UPS?
Geniuses. Hope many more of them play around in this manner and go “oooops!”
