IDF spokesman posts cartoon of Nasrallah seeking terror target
Brig.-Gen. Mordechai posts cartoon on Facebook page, says Hezbollah leader 'not sitting in bunker counting prayer beads'
IDF Spokesperson Brigadier-General Yoav Mordechai posted on his Facebook page Friday a caricature showing Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah standing by a globe and contemplating where to carry out the next terror attack.
Mordechai took a swipe at Nasrallah after Bulgaria announced earlier this week that its investigation concluded that Hezbollah was behind the bombing of a bus filled with Israeli tourists in the Black Sea city of Burgas last July. The attack killed five Israeli tourists, their Bulgarian driver and the bomber.

"Undoubtedly, Nasrallah is sitting in his bunker, his hideout, and is not counting beads on a misbaha (string of prayer beads)," Mordechai wrote on his Facebook page. The cartoon was drawn by a female soldier from the IDF Spokesperson's Film Unit.

Over the past year Mordechai has frequently posted caricatures on his Facebook page to convey messages against terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Israelis security establishment raised its alert level recently for fear that Hezbollah will attempt to carry out a terror attack as retaliation for last week's alleged Israeli airstrike on a convoy delivering advanced weapons from Syria to Lebanon.
