    A Hezbollah-affiliated television network just aired a documentary with senior Israeli interviewees, which begs the question, how did they pull this off?
    Among those interviewed in “What Happened in 2006,” a documentary about the Second Lebanon War that aired on the Hezbollah-linked Al-Mayadeen channel on Saturday, were Maj. Gen. (res.) Eyal Ben-Reuven and Maj. Gen. (res.) Amos Yadlin, as well as then-Defense Minister Amir Peretz and Tomer Weinberg, a combatant who was injured in the initial stages of the conflict.
    Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth revealed Tuesday that the interviews were conducted by an Italian journalist, Michela Moni, who told his interviewees that the footage was intended for Italian television and the BBC in Britain.
