Lebanon's Shiite terrorist movement Hezbollah on Monday gave a "martyr's" funeral in Beirut for controversial militant Samir Kuntar who was killed in a suspected Israeli air strike in Damascus, AFP reports.
Militants manned checkpoints as Kantar's coffin, draped in the movement's yellow-and-green flag, was carried to its burial place in the capital's Ghobeiri area, a bastion of Hezbollah support.
"The Israelis still haven't learned that with all these assassination attempts on leaders they are committing a huge mistake," senior Hezbollah official Hisham Safiedine said.
A thick crowd chanted "Death to Israel! Death to America!" and waved the Palestinian Authority, Lebanese and Hezbollah flags, as the coffin was carried to a mausoleum reserved for "martyrs".
