Also killed in the attack, according to pro-government websites, was Farhan al-Sha’alan, a leader of the Syrian Resistance in the Golan, a group affiliated with Hezbollah.

Hezbollah threatened Sunday to avenge the killing of a top terrorist whose claim to notoriety was a 1979 attack in which he shot dead an Israeli father in front of his four year-old daughter, and then battered the girl to death with a rifle butt.

Kantar and four other prisoners received a triumphant red carpet welcome in Lebanon in 2008 when they were exchanged for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers.

Kantar’s killing would mark the first Israeli assassination of a senior figure inside Syria since Russian Federation launched its military operations in Syria on September 30 in support of President Bashar Assad.

In a symbolic gesture at Monday’s funeral, Hezbollah fighters carrying Qantar’s coffin stopped by the grave of Moughniyah, where they took the group’s official oath and pledged loyalty to Nasrallah. Interviewed on Al-Manar television channel he said that “Israel was interested in the man’s death more than anybody else”.

Israeli Cabinet minister Yuval Steinitz said he was not sorry about Kantar’s death but could not comment on the accusations that Israel was behind the killing.

Qantar, a Lebanese Druze, was 16 years old when he participated in a notorious attack in the Israeli coastal town of Nahariya in 1979 along with three other members of a Palestinian militant group, the Palestine Liberation Front.

On December 21, thousands of people gathered in a Hezbollah stronghold south of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, for the Kuntar’s funeral. Israel has formally kept out of Syria’s civil war which started nearly five years ago but has bombed Hezbollah targets there without publicly acknowledging these sorties.

“The dean of liberated detainees from Israeli prisons, brother Mujahid Samir Kuntar was martyred along with several Syrian citizens in the strike”.

The announcements concerning the missile defense systems’ tests come amid a new spiral of tensions between Israel and its northern neighbors. Israel’s forces responded with “targeted artillery fire”, AFP reported.
