Times of Israel: Terror chief Samir Kuntar said killed in Israeli strike

Hezbollah-affiliated perpetrator of infamous 1979 kidnapping-murder of Israeli family reportedly assassinated in IAF attack on Damascus suburb, along with 8 of the group’s fighters.

Arab media reports say Israel may have assassinated Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar.

Several Israeli Air Force missiles reportedly struck the Damascus suburb of Jaramana, killing Kuntar, in the early hours of Sunday.

The Assad regime blamed “terrorist groups” for the strike, but officials and local media said Israel was responsible for the attack.

A Lebanese Druze, Kuntar became infamous for a brutal 1979 raid from Lebanon in which he helped kidnap an Israeli family from Nahariya, then smashed the head of a four-year-old Israeli girl, Einat Haran, with his rifle butt, killing her. Three other Israelis were killed in the attack. He was 16 at the time, a member of the Palestine Liberation Front.
