Zionist Entity Wary after Jaramana Strike, Waiting for Sayyed Nasrallah Response

Local Editor

It’s clear that the Zionist entity can’t bear to officially claim responsibility for the strike which killed the Dean of the freed detainees from the Israeli prisons, Samir Kuntar late on Saturday. However, the Israeli media didn’t hesitate to praise the strike, in an obvious admission that Tel Aviv had carried out the raid.

Sayyed Nasrallah

Hasan Hijazi, the editor of the Israeli affairs at al-Manar, said that Tel AViv declined to officially comment on the strike in order to avoid a harsh retaliation by the resistance, noting that the Israeli eye now is on Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah’s response.

“The Israeli authorities are avoiding the direct claim of responsibility, in a bid to give the other side (the resistance) a chance to mull its retaliation choices and in order for this retaliation to be deliberate and well-calculated,” Hijazi said during a live coverage on al-Manar.

“According to Israeli commentators, Israel now is denying any involvement because the direct claim of responsibility would lead to strong and justified retaliation (by the resistance).”

“According to the Zionists, Kuntar represents the Lebanese, Palestinian and Syrian struggle against Israel. He is well-recognized for his participation in Nahariya operation in 1979. He is well known because he was freed despite the 33-day Israeli war on Lebanon which took place after the resistance captured two Israeli soldiers and killed other eight. He is well recognized for his alleged role in opening a new front in Golan against the Zionist entity. Samir Kuntar represents the path of resistance.”

Israeli Media ‘Praising’ Kuntar Assassination

“Israeli officials p

raised the reported killing of Lebanese militant leader Samir Kuntar,” Israeli daily, Jerusalem Post said on Sunday.

It quoted Israeli Construction and Housing Minister Yoav Gallant as talking to Israel Radio that "It is good that people like Samir Qantar will not be part of our world."

Asked if Tel Aviv carried out the strike, Gallant said: "I am not confirming or denying anything to do with this matter." Other Israeli officials, including military spokesmen, declined comment.

Meanwhile on Sunday, Israeli justice minister Ayelet Shaked welcomed the assassination of Kuntar but did not claim credit for the air strike.
