“The White House, Zionism and terrorism are part of a triangle which is the main cause of insecurity and instability in our region,” Amir-Abdollahian said in a meeting with Zeinab Barjavi, wife of the martyred commander of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement Samir Kuntar (also spelled as Quntar), in Tehran on Sunday.

He said that Quntar was a senior resistance commander who was set free after resisting for 30 years in Zionist regime’s prisons proudly and with high morale, adding, “He immediately started defending the axis of resistance in Syria after his release with political and religious insight; he was eventually martyred by the Zionist regime in the town of Jermana in the Southern outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus, reports IRNA.

In January 2015, an Israeli strike in Syria killed six Hezbollah members, including top commander Samir Quntar.

Quntar was jailed in Israel for a 1979 Palestine Liberation Front raid where four were killed. Quntar was sixteen at the time. He was repatriated to Lebanon in 2008 as part of a prisoner swap and kept a low public profile since then.
