Israel threatens to assassinate Quntar

Bethlehem - Ma'an - An Israeli security source said on Thursday that a day after his release from Israeli prison, Samir Quntar is a target for assassination by Israeli forces.

The Israeli Hebrew newspaper Yediot Ahronot quoted the source as saying, Israel will get him, he will be assassinated and Mosad will not take too long to kill him. When questioned on whether he saw the assassination threat as a breach of the agreement with Hezbollah he said, there are no commitments regarding Quntars life, he is a damned killer and we will make him pay back soon.

Quntar was the most controversial of the prisoners freed on Wednesday as part of the swap between Hizbollah and Israel. He was held in Israeli prison from 1979 until 2008 for the killing of three Israeli civilians. Quntar is portrayed in the Israeli media as a monster and his release caused consternation amongst some sections of Israeli society.

This assassination threat could be seen as an attempt to make up for what is seen widely as a victory for Hezbollah at the expense of Israel.

#2 What a miserable excuse for a human being. Holding up a baby killer and some kind of hero is probably the most barbaric and inhumane act he could possibly engage in. If he had any common decency, he would put the man on trial in Lebanon for murder and put him right back in jail.

War is one thing, killing a child and then killing the child's father in front of the remaining child is the act of an animal, not a human being.

Nasrallah and Hezbollah are a band of insane maniacs. May God have mercy on their souls for they will surely face harsh judgment.

#3 It would seem that they mean it...

His release and return to a jubilant hero's welcome in Lebanon drew condemnation in Israel, where security officials warned he was now a target for killing. "Every terrorist who committed an act of terror against Israel, especially someone like Kantar, who killed a little child and two other people, is a target," one official told AFP.

Let's hope so.

#6 It's time to start killin muslims. Period. Any sick religion that would react to that situation (prisoner swap) the way they did deserve to be eradicated. Worse than Nazis.

Oh and Isreal should be ashamed.
