Report: Kuntar planning major attack when he was killed
- 8 years ago
Samir Kuntar, the notorious terrorist killed Saturday night near Damascus, was believed to be preparing a major terror attack against Israel from the Golan Heights, according to highly reliable Western sources.
At the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015, Hezbollah became fed up with Kuntar's services and appointed in his stead Jihad Mughniyah, son of Imad Mughniyeh , as the commander of the new Iranian-Hezbollah front established in the Golan Heights.
This organization founded by Hezbollah together with the Iranians was about to begin its activities when Jihad and his men were eliminated in January 2015 by an aerial bombardment attributed by Hezbollah to Israel.
Western sources believe Kuntar was in the final stages of planning and carrying out another attack against Israel, which senior Hezbollah officials apparently did not know about.
