Lebanese militant leader killed in Israeli raid in Syria
(MENAFN- Arab News) BEIRUT: Lebanese Hezbollah militant leader Samir Qantar was killed in an Israeli air strike in Damascus the Lebanese group and Syrian government sources said.
Israel welcomed his death saying he had been preparing attacks on it from Syrian soil but stopped short of confirming responsibility for the strike that killed him.
Hezbollah said Qantar was killed in an Israeli raid on the residential district of Jaramana in the Syrian capital.
Israel released Qantar a Druze in 2008 as part of a prisoner swap with Hezbollah and he is since believed to have joined the group which has sent hundreds of its members to fight alongside forces loyal to Bashar Assad.
Hezbollah's official media said Qantar would be buried on Monday in a cemetery in its main stronghold of Dahiya in the southern suburbs of Beirut.
