Hezbollah has appointed Mustafa Mugniyeh to head its military wing. Mughniyeh is the son of previous military chief Imad Mughniyeh, who was killed in Damascus in 2008, and nephew of Mustafa Badreddine, killed last week in Syria.

When Hezbollah's top military commander Mustafa Badreddine was killed in an explosion in Syria, all eyes turned to Israel, but Hezbollah insists he was killed by artillery shelling fired by rival Sunni rebel groups.
