So if the Mossad were to use a sniper suspicion would go to the U.S.

I know; pretty convoluted thinking but in a business where the right hand doesn’t know what the left one is doing...

The John Bachelor Radio show speculated that Hezbollah was responsible for the hit.

I don’t think that Hezbollah has the necessary discipline to use a sniper. All of their hits are usually pretty messy, with lots of collateral damage. This was precision one-shot, one-kill, worthy of Carlos Hathcock himself.

I disagree. Many members of Hezbollah have been trained by IRGC. They were used in a Buenos Aries bombing of a synagogue.

According to Israeli newspapers, two IDF communications technicians, Itai Iluz and Avishai Korisky, were fired on by a Hezbollah sharpshooter the morning of July 20 while they were repairing an antenna on the roof of an outpost in Western Galilee.
