Syrians thank Israel for eliminating Samir Kuntar
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/12/15 | Ari Soffer

Posted on 12/20/2015 1:41:57 AM PST by Eleutheria5

Israelis aren't the only ones celebrating, as members of Sunni opposition take to social media to hail Hezbollah commander's death.

Video

Kuntar was widely reviled in Israel for his role in a 1979 terrorist attack by the now-defunct Palestine Liberation Front, during which terrorists kidnapped an Israeli father and his four-year-old daughter from Nahariya and then brutally executed them on a nearby beach. Kuntar himself beat the young girl to death with the butt of his rifle; her two-year-old sister was accidentally smothered to death by their terrified mother as she stifled her cries to prevent them from being discovered.

He was released after serving nearly 30 years of a 47-year sentence in a 2008 prisoner swap with Hezbollah, and was immediately feted as a hero by the Shia Islamist terror group and appointed one of its commanders. He was reportedly targeted in a previous airstrike but emerged unscathed. Israeli jets finally found their target on Saturday night, obliterating a building near Damascus where he had been living with a number of other Hezbollah commanders.

But Israelis aren't the only ones celebrating Kuntar's elimination.

In an illustration of the political complexities evoked by Syria's civil war, many members of the predominantly Sunni Muslim Syrian opposition took to social media in the aftermath of the strike to thank the Jewish state for taking him out.

Kerry should send Israel a stern warning for ruining Obama’s vacation.

Aww, how peaceful of him. If only we could have immigrated him he would be alive today, and able to share his peaceful religion with us too.

Assuming this to be TRUE it is too bad the Israeli’s could not have found a slower more painful way for the son of a b ____ to pass into hell!

We were a little early to celebrate the elimination of this creep ( http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3318259/posts ), or the Israelis were a bit late, but better late than never. :-)

Hurray, and Yippee Ki Yay Kuntar, you M......!!!!!!

As I said, I remember reading about him this past summer, they thought they killed him then:

“Hezbollah Child-Killer Samir Kuntar ‘Killed in Syria Airstrike” dated July, http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/198787#.VnbMN0-KZVJ

Israel really hated this guy. I guess at one point though, he was in a prisoner exchange or something and given his freedom.

“Qantar was jailed in 1979 for killing a four-year-old Israeli girl, her father and a policeman. The girl’s two-year-old sister was accidentally smothered by her mother as they hid.”

Iran bombed the marine barracks in Lebanon

Our newest friends thanks to Barry and kerry

Look up the YouTube video where admiral James “ Ace” Lyons talks about the navy being ready to retaliate on Iran and Weinberger would not issue the order

It is true. After he emptied his gun into Danny he drowned him in the sea as the little girl watched

That is why he crushed her head on sea riocks and then smashed her skull with his rifle butt. Out of bullets.

I think when the Isaelis exchanged him it was to track him down
Or maybe to stop paying his wife welfare payments for being the wife of a prisoner

Revolutionary Guard of Iran draws back, Hezbollah losing fighters in numbers; and some people claim Russia has been winning when their allies like Hezbollah clearly aren’t.

Pictures of his funeral here. It’s amazing that someone who did such a bad thing would get such attendance of his funeral.
