Hezbollah vows to retaliate killing of Samir Kantar
Hezbollah's leader has vowed to retaliate for this month's
killing of one of its high-profile figures, an assassination which the Lebanese
militant group blamed Israel for.
Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech on Sunday that the
retaliation for Samir Kantar's slaying is "certainly coming," reports
AP.
He added that "no matter what consequences or threats
come, we will not tolerate the shedding of our fighters' blood by the
Zionists."
Kantar was killed on December 19, along with eight others,
in an airstrike on a residential building in Jaramana, near the Syrian capital
of Damascus.
Israel has not confirmed or denied that it carried out the
airstrikes.
Kantar had spent 30 years in an Israeli prison after being
convicted of the 1979 killing of an Israeli policeman, a father and his
4-year-old daughter.
