This section in the interview with Nasrallah with Al-Akhbar was interesting: "Do you recall you were once asked about him and you said “we do not know him and do not know where he is”?
I never said we did not know him. I once said, in the first interview I had with Télé Liban in 1993, in response to a question about whether Hajj Imad was a Hezbollah leader, I said no. In truth, at the time, Hajj Imad was indeed not in Hezbollah. Neither he, nor other brothers who are key people in the Jihad work had entered Hezbollah’s formations. They had an independent formation through which they operated, regardless of whether that formation continues to exist or not. This is a different subject, so as not to touch on sensitive matters."
