The Lebanese group has accused Israel of assassinating him.

Moghaniyah had been on the ‘wanted’ list of the US and Israel for many years. They accuse him of being behind a string of abductions and attacks which left hundreds of people dead.

His killing came on the eve of a mass rally in Beirut to mark the third anniversary of the assassination of Rafiq al-Hariri, a former prime minister of Lebanon.

Who was behind Moghaniyah’s killing, and what will the repercussions be? Inside Story, with presenter Hashem Ahelbarra, investigates.
