The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth has hinted that it was possible that the Jewish state would assassinate Samir Qantar, the Lebanese prisoner who was freed from an Israeli prison on Wednesday.

The military analyst at Yedioth Ahronoth, Ron Bin Yashai, advised Qantar that he learn from the past and draw the lesson, and that he ask his comrades in the PLO and in Hizbullah about "the fate of killers of Israeli and Jewish civilians after the passage of years in which it had appeared that their deeds had been forgotten."

He added: "What happened, for example, to the killers of the athletes (during the Olympic games) in Munich and to those who sent them, the last of whom died in unnatural circumstances 24 years after the frightful massacre?"
