Samir al-Kuntar
The Israeli Air Force assassinated, on Saturday at night, the former political prisoner and senior Hezbollah leader, Samir al-Kuntar, in an air strike in the Jermana area of the Syrian capital Damascus.
The Hezbollah party in Lebanon said the Israeli Air Force violated Syrian air space at around 10:30 at night, and fired five missiles into a residential building, killing six people, including al-Kuntar, and wounding at least twelve others.
The Civil Defense Forces in Jermana said two Israeli war jets violated Syrian airspace and struck the building with four missiles.
Initial reports were first unconfirmed, but his brother later announced on his Twitter account the confirmed dead of al-Kuntar.
Samir al-Kuntar spent 29 years in Israeli prisons, and was released on July 16 2008, under a prisoner-swap agreement reached through negotiation between Hezbollah and the Israeli government through a third party.
As part of the agreement, Israel released al-Kuntar and four other Hezbollah members, who were taken prisoner during the July 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel, in which Israeli troops invaded and bombed Southern Lebanon, and Hezbollah fired rockets across the border into Israel.
Hezbollah is the leading party in southern Lebanon, and has a fighting force that works to deflect further Israeli invasions into Lebanon.
The 2008 agreement also included the transfer of the remains of 199 fighters, including Palestinian and Lebanese fighters, in exchange for Hezbollah releasing the remains of Israeli soldiers killed during the war.
Retired Israeli major general and current Member of Knesset (Parliament) with the Zionist Union party, Major. Gen. Eyal Ben-Reuven, hailed the reports of the assassination, and said that the Air Force and all others involved in the incident “should be commended for the successful operation.”
Ben-Reuven, the former head of the Northern Command on the Israeli army, said the Israeli government is preparing for retaliatory attacks by Hezbollah.
Israel held al-Kuntar responsible for the April 22nd 1979 attack that led to the death of four Israelis: a police officer, an Israeli civilian and his 4-year-old daughter, while the man’s other daughter, 2, was accidentally suffocated by her mother, while trying to keep her quiet. The attackers allegedly kidnapped the family in Nahariya and took them to a beach, then tried to load their hostages on a rubber boat.
Israeli police decided to attack with full force instead of attempting to negotiate, and the father of the family and a police officer were killed. The 4-year old was killed when her head hit a rock during the scuffle. Two fighters, identified as Abdul-Majid Aslan and Moayyad Mhanna, were killed, while al-Kuntar and Ahmad al-Abrass were captured. Al-Abrass was later released, along with 1150 detainees, in a prisoner swap agreement, led by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command.
After capturing al-Kuntar, an Israeli court sentenced him to five life-terms, Upon his release in the prisoner swap deal, he returned to Lebanon and joined Hezbollah, then went on to live in Syria. Video

Nash'at Asfour 33 (with his daughter)
A 33-year old man died Friday of wounds sustained earlier in the day during an Israeli military invasion into the town of Sinjel, near Ramallah.
The man, identified as Nash’at ‘Asfour, was shot in the chest and critically wounded by invading Israeli military forces, who shot him at close range with a ‘Dumdum’ bullet, which is an exploding bullet that is considered illegal under international law. These bullets explode on impact, shattering the body of the person shot by them with hundreds of tiny fragments of the bullet. They are frequently used by Israeli forces during their invasions of Palestinian towns and villages, which occur on a daily basis.
The shooting of the 33-year old father took place during clashes that erupted between youth in the town and the invading Israeli military forces. The military arrived in Sinjel in armored vehicles and jeeps, and began firing live rounds at youth in the street, who responded by throwing stones at the soldiers.
After being shot by the Israeli troops, ‘Asfour was taken by a Palestinian ambulance to the Palestine Medical Center in Ramallah, where he was immediately moved into surgery.
Later the same night, the doctors announced that they were unable to save ‘Asfour’s life.
He was a father to three children, including a newborn.

Israeli soldiers invaded, on Wednesday at dawn, the Qalandia refuge camp, north of occupied Jerusalem, shot and killed two Palestinians, and wounded at least four others; the army claimed three soldiers were injured in a ramming incident.
The slain Palestinians have been identified as Ahmad Hajahja, 21, from the Qalandia refugee camp, and Hekmat Hamdan, from al-Biereh city, were killed in the refugee camp, and at least four Palestinians were shot with live fire.
Hajahja was a second-year Journalism student at the Modern University College, in Ramallah, in addition to being active with the Qalandia Media Center. He was also related to Younis Jahjouh, 22, who was killed by the Israeli army, along with Rubin Ziad, 32, and Jihad Aslan, 19, in a similar invasion two years ago.
Medical sources said one of the wounded Palestinians was shot in the abdomen, and was instantly moved to surgery; his condition remains critical.
The Israeli army said Hajahja rammed his car into the soldiers, wounding three. After being shot, Hajahja was left to bleed to death, before the soldiers took his body to an unknown destination.
Eyewitnesses said an Israeli ambulance, and a helicopter, took the injured soldiers to Israeli hospitals.
Media sources in Qalandia said hundreds of Israeli soldiers invaded the refugee camp in their armored jeeps and military vehicles, from various directions, and exchanged fire with armed resistance fighters.
Clashes also took place between the soldiers and local youths, who hurled stones and empty bottles at them, while the soldiers invaded and ransacked many homes, and kidnapped Mahmoud Nayef Abu Lateefa, 26, after repeatedly beating him.
Among the invaded homes were the properties of Laith Manasra and Ahmad Sobhi Abu al-'Aish, who were killed by the army on November 16th, and Mahmoud Abdullah 'Adwan, 21, who was killed on December 16.
The soldiers also broke into many shops, stores and the Tammam Medical Center, and violently searched them, causing serious property damage. The soldiers also stole money from invaded shops and stores.

Abdulmohsen Hassouna 21
A Jerusalemite young man was shot dead after ramming his car into a group of Israeli settlers west of occupied Jerusalem on Monday afternoon.
The 0404 Hebrew website said that the youth rammed his car into the settlers and was planning to carry out a stabbing attack near the central bus station west of Jerusalem.
The Israeli TV Channel 10 reported that 12 settlers were wounded in the attack; three of them sustained serious wounds while three others suffered moderate injuries.
The Israeli police spokeswoman Luba al-Sumari said in a press release that the youth drove his car into the settlers waiting at the bus station and when he tried to get out of his car and stab others he was shot by a security officer and two settlers.
She said that security officers searched his car and found a knife in it.
The youth was seen in photos from the scene of the incident lying on the ground, bleeding with no one extending help to him. Israeli medical crews were seen tending to the injured settlers while the youth was left to bleed to death.
Hebrew media identified the young man as 21-year-old Abdulmohsen Hassouna from the Jerusalemite town of Beit Hanina.
The death of Hassouna brought to 122 the number of Palestinians killed in the Jerusalem Intifada so far including 25 children and 5 women
