Lebanon source: Laqqis fought in Syrian battles
A Lebanon source close to Hezbollah said assassinated Hezbollah commander Hassan al-Laqqis had taken part in several battles inside Syria.
The source said Wednesday's attack bore the hallmarks of an Israeli operation, being shot from close range by a silenced gun as he arrived home at around midnight, and analyst Charles Lister of IHS Jane's in London said it suggested an element of "professionalism and prior intelligence". (Reuters)
