Hezbollah Ambushed Intruding Israeli Soldiers, Group's Chief Says

1. Laughable.

The money quote:

Though the accuracy of Nasrallah's account could not be confirmed, the incident provided an opportunity for the Hezbollah chief to boast of his movement's focus on arch foe Israel at a time when many Sunni Muslims in the Arab world have assailed the Shiite Muslim group for intervening in Syria on behalf of President Bashar Assad. Hezbollah's critics called the interview, which also included new details about the 2006 war, a publicity stunt designed to divert attention from Hezbollah's presence in Syria to its generally popular stance against Israel.

Nasrallah's cred outside Hezbollah is somewhere between zero and a negative number at the moment.
