The Free Syrian Army released a video clip on Monday morning claiming responsibility for killing Hezbollah militant Samir Kuntar.

In a YouTube video featuring armed rebels from the Free Syrian Army, a spokesman denied Hezbollah’s claims that the Israel was behind the attack, saying instead that they had managed to assassinate Kuntar and his companions.

The Free Syrian Army said that “the Party of Satan,” a play on the meaning of Hezbollah in Arabic (Party of God), had made the claims that Israel was behind the assassination in order to demoralize the Free Syrian Army and undermine their rival group’s achievements.

The Free Syrian Army is fighting against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, while Hezbollah has sent thousands of its own fighters from Lebanon to Syria to bolster Assad. In addition Hezbollah has been training in south Lebanon and Bekaa Shiites from Afghanistan and Pakistan and sending them over to Syria

In the YouTube clip, the the so-called “knights of the Houran brigade” warned, “Hezbollah will not be spared from our future strikes.”

Israeli did not claim responsibility for the strikes, but media reports on Sunday quoted Hezbollah’s al Manner TV that Kuntar was killed in an Israeli raid near the Syrian capital.

According to Al Manar Israeli warplanes targeted a building where Kuntar and a number of his companions were residing in Hay al-Homsi in Jaramana southeast of Damascus.

Witnesses said that three missiles were launched at the residential building and led to its total collapse, killing six individuals and wounding another twelve.

Kuntar was convicted of carrying out one of the most daring attacks in Israeli history and spent nearly three decades in an Israeli prison.

Kuntar, known in Lebanon as “The Dean of Lebanese Prisoners” for being the longest-held prisoner in Israel, was killed along with eight others in the strike in the Damascus suburb of Jaramana Saturday night, Hezbollah’s al Al Manner reported on Sunday.

Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV said two Israeli warplanes that violated Syrian airspace fired four long-range missiles at the residential building in Jaramana. It aired footage of what it said was the building, which appeared to be destroyed. Kuntar’s brother, Bassam, confirmed his “martyrdom” in a Facebook post on Sunday.

Syrian state news agency SANA said Kuntar was killed in a “terrorist and hostile missile attack on a residential building.” SANA did not mention Israel in its report on the strike, which it said killed several people.

Although Al-Manar said Israeli warplanes violated Syrian airspace, the Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV station, which is close to Hezbollah and the Syrian government, said two Israeli warplanes fired the four missiles while flying over northern Israel.

Al-Mayadeen said that Farhan al-Shaalan, a senior commander with the anti-Israeli “resistance” movement in the Golan Heights, was also killed in the air raid together with an aide to Kantar.

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

“If something happened to him I think that no civilized person can be sorry. But again I learned it from the reports in the international media and I can make no concrete reference to it,” he said.

Kantar and four Hezbollah militants were freed in 2008 in exchange for the bodies of two Israeli soldiers captured by Hezbollah in 2006, whose capture sparked a 34-day war between Israel and Hezbollah. His release was highly controversial in Israel, where he is believed to be the perpetrator of one of the most grisly attacks in Israeli history.

Hezbollah leaders vowed revenge against Israel on Monday for the death of Kuntar

“The Israeli enemy will regret the assassination of Samir Kuntar,” said the head of Hezbollah’s foreign relations, Omar al-Mussawi, at Kuntar’s funeral on Monday afternoon.


Thousands attended the funeral, including not only many senior Hezbollah militants, but also Lebanese politicians and leaders of Palestinian factions in the country. Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam even called the Kuntar family and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah’s aide, Hussein al-Khalil, to express his condolences.

  1. Sure, sure. The FSA air force did a fine job.

      Israel created PLO, Hezbollah, Hamas, Daesh, all wars and all terrorisme in the Middle East, since 1948.

      1. The Arab League created the PLO, Hizzbillies, Hamas, and Daesh by their failure of their missions to destroy Israel and their abandonment after being defeated several times.

          3. Success always breeds contempt. It’s ironic that so many other lobbyists have had articles written about them, both in flattery or contempt for decades. Interest groups even have access to “rent-a-lobbyist” legal firms in Wash DC. The Arab nations have taken that opportunity as well. Everyone can be represented by a lobbyist.

          Hamas and Daesh are IsraHell’s creations to further their agenda using their know “divide & conquer” tactics and justify their “moral” (read immoral) legitimacy.

          Neither Hamas nor Daesh will touch IsraHell.

          6. 72 virgins sounds painful, I would rather have a couple fire-breathing hors any-day over that many inexperience virgins.

        2. IsraHell did in fact create al-Qaeda, ISIS, Daesh.

          It’s now old news.

          1. They also created air, rocks and astro turf. If the Jews are that smart, or the Arabs that dumb, you should just give up. Because not even their govts are as smart as you, O! You see what no govt in the ME sees and admit what no IS or AQ terrorist would admit – that they are all on the Jews’ payroll.
            You should be an investigative journalist, or a preacher, telling the world about Jewish power. Or Arab senility.
            Either way, put on some pants, get out of the basement, and tell the world!

          2. “You see what no govt in the ME sees and admit what no IS or AQ terrorist would admit – that they are all on the Jews’ payroll.”

            Do you expect the US, IsraHell and KSA to make a live, public announcement about it?

            ps – not “Jews”, Zionists.

          3. So you admit that Jews control the ME and possibly the world. Would like you to explain how 6 million Jews control hundreds of millions and they make not a peep about it. Why are the Arabs so weak that they would allow themselves to be enslaved and fight wars being orchestrated by Jews.
            PS-Jews are Zionists. So, Jews. You care about no other country, religion or movement like you do Israel, Judaism and Zionism.
            PPS- Jews invented standing in line.

          4. I did not say 6 million Jews control the world. The world is controlled by a small group of bankers (Rothschild), (Lazard, Shroder, etc) – notice I wrote Rothschild separately. The same bankers behind the US “Federal” Reserve (nothing but a private bank), IMF, and the Central Banking system as a whole – ownership and control of currencies. To understand History, one must understand the role of bankers in History – until then one doesn’t know History at all.

            The Middle East has the Shia vs Sunni issue to begin with. You only need to know how to exploit it. The invasion and reform of the Middle East was planned by Zionists (Israeli and US Neo-cons) since the late 80s.

            True Jews are not Zionists and Zionists are not Jewish. Zionists take cover under Judaism to further their military-political agenda.

          5. “If the Jews are that smart, or the Arabs that dumb…”
            Well, dunno about the first part. As to the second one, well… Judging by what they think, say and do (not to mention what they have – or have not – done over the last 70 years or so), one is indeed left to wonder.

      3. I would argue …

        PLO and Hezbollah came to life due to IsraHell’s invasions and occupations.

        Hams and Daesh are their creation to justify their never ending “moral” (read immoral) legitimacy.

    Don’t need to ACCUSE, we all know it’s ‘WHAT THEY DO’.

  4. This could have been a combined effort. All opposition is Syria is not radical Islamist’s, as much as Hezb/Iran try to portray. The future government of Syria will have to be secular and tolerate all religious groups.

            I think we should assume that Israelis are not so different than the rest of the world … most don’t know their own history. Let alone that that ‘religion’ is ‘theory’. They just go by the words from ‘Tops’ and controllers. I’d also say, most times, it was only one man or woman who made a difference.

          4. “we should assume that Israelis are not so different than the rest of the world … most don’t know their own history”

            Not fond of barging into another people’s conversations (especially not into one of your schmooze-fests with the World’s Most Misunderstood Artist(tm)), but it does strike me as a tad peculiar that you (and the Artist!?!?) seem to assume to actually know their history better than they do. As assumptions go, the second looks, feels, smells – and probably is – even weaker than the first one. 🙂

        Yeah, especially the Jews. They were all positively in love with the Assad family.
        As to the “massacring”, I heard that it all started when the Mukhabarat began abducting children and returning them in multiple pieces.

          Israel prefers pieces of Syria (especially oil and gas).

          1. So now you’re concerned with Israel’s well-being? One would expect you fuming at the Baath’s passivity vis-a-vis the Zionist entity. And what’s that gas you are blabbering about? Get sober already and start talking sense.

    If the FSA was able to take Soleimani then it was able to take care of Kuntar.

    1. Did FSA get Soleimani? There is not much proof either way,lots of potential rumors. If you have a good link ,please share.

  6. Next thing you know, the Uighur did it.

    This was done by the biggest terrorist of them all: IsraHell.
