"The response for the assassination of al-Kuntar is coming, there's no doubt.<br />The Israelis have a reason to be worried, in the border area and outside it (abroad).<br />The scary statements we've heard in the past few days won't help."<br />That's what Hezbollah Secretay General Hassan Nasrallah said Sunday, during a speech marking one week after the assassination of leading member Samir Kuntar in Syria.<br />Kuntar, who murdered several members of the Israeli Haran family in a 1979 terror attack, was an Israeli prisoner until he was freed in the 2008 Hezbollah-Israel prisoner exchange, in return for the bodies of Israeli soldiers Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser.<br />The Arab world in general, and Hezbollah in particular, have attributed his assassination via air strike to Israel, even though the country has not admitted any responsibility – unlike in prior cases such as the assassination of Hezbollah member Jihad Mughniyeh in early 2015.
