Hezbollah buries prominent member killed in strike in Syria
Thousands of Hezbollah supporters marched Monday behind the yellow-draped coffin of one of its most prominent fighters killed the day before in what the group said was an Israeli airstrike in Syria, pumping their fists angrily in the air and chanting, "Death to Israel."
The emotional funeral of Jihad Mughniyeh – the son of Imad Mughniyeh, a top Hezbollah operative assassinated in 2008 in Damascus and one of the six Hezbollah fighters killed Sunday in the Golan – is likely to further ratchet up tensions between the militant Lebanese Shiite group and its archenemy Israel.
