Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari on Sunday denounced assassination of Samir Qantar in the wake of air strike of the Zionist regime (Israel) planes.


Ansari said the move sets as clear evidence of violation of national sovereignty and territorial integrity of an independent state and member of the United Nations and the newest pattern of state organized terrorism of the Zionist regime.

He described Samir Qantar as a symbol of resistance against occupation and invasion of the Zionist regime, who after close to three decades of captivity was released a few years ago in an exchange operation of captives with Lebanese Hezbollah.

Jaber Ansari extended condolence to Qantar's family, his fellow fighters, Lebanese and Palestine resistance as well as Lebanese government and nation.
He added such acts of the Zionist regime have turned to a permanent and constant conduct and are the most dangerous form of state terrorism.

He called on international organizations and world governments to condemn such terrorist acts and do not allow the global community intention of campaign against terrorism get weakened under influence of terrorist measures of the Zionist regime.

The Zionist fighter planes bombarded a residential area in district of Jaramana in Damascus Rif, capital of Syria, on Saturday late evening, which left a number of Syrian citizens, including Samir Qantar, killed; IRNA reported.
