Anthony Cordesman reports: "The IDF does feel a significant part of the key leaders and cadres have been killed or captured but has given no details." In fact, all of Hizbullah leaders have been seen in public, or have given interviews. Israeli propaganda, for example, had claimed that Muhammad Ra`d (the leader of Hizbullah bloc in parliament) was killed. Today, he gave an interview to New TV. (3 years ago, Muhammad Ra`d came to a talk I gave in Harat Hrayk. I caught him dozing off repeatedly during my talk.)
