Hezbollah leader says Israeli strike killed Lebanese militant Qantar in Syria

‘We, in a firm way hold the Zionist enemy the responsibility for assassinating him.’

Beirut: Hezbollah's leader said on Monday that Lebanese militant Samir Qantar was killed by an Israeli air strike on a residential building in Syria's district of Jaramana.

"We have no doubt or question that Israel is the one which assassinated Samir Qantar, its planes fired precise missiles on an apartment (he was in)," Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech aired on the group's television al-Manar.

A number of Syrians were also killed in the attack.

"We, in a firm and definite way, hold the Zionist enemy the responsibility for assassinating him," Nasrallah said.
