No Israeli comment on Syria blast

The Zionist regime has declined to comment on a car bombing in Damascus in which a senior Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyah was assassinated.

"He has been a target of the Zionists for 20 years," a Hezbollah statement said.

"With all pride we declare a great jihadist leader of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon joining the martyrs ... The brother commander hajj Imad Mughniyah became a martyr at the hands of the Zionist Israelis,'' said a statement carried on Hezbollah's television, al-Minar.
