If you checked wiki, did you miss this part?
A Psychologist, Zvi Sela, served as Chief Intelligence Officer of the Israel Prison Service and met al-Kuntar in prison in this capacity. In an interview with Haaretz he claimed that he believed Kuntar's version:
"We turned Kuntar into God-knows-what – the murderer of Danny Haran and his daughter, Einat. The man who smashed in the girl's head. That's nonsense. A story. A fairy tale. He told me he didn't do it and I believe him. I investigated the event… and in my opinion there is support for the fact that they were killed by fire from the Israeli rescue forces. You can accuse him all you like, but it was obviously the rescue forces that opened fire."[29]
I want to see hezb-sh!t retliat
It will be interesting to see what instrument IDF will choose to send hasan nasfuc!bar to hell
my guess
If Israel could do that, what has stopping them? The only thing that stops Israel for assassinations is not will, its inability, otherwise they are constantly trying to assassinate their targets around the world.

Lool this small terrorist group is threatening Israel? LMAO. Good one. Even their father/master Russia hasn't threatened or said one word against Israel after Israel strikes S-400 'covered' Damascus, what chance does this insignificant terrorist group thinks it stands against Israel. I'm sure Netanyahu is praying for these dumb fanatic Islamic terrorist group to dare retaliate, that way Israel will use them for good target practice . Lool they have their hands full with AK 47 ill equipped Syrian Rebels and yet they want to take on the Middle East leading power Israel??? Joke of the century. LMAO
Even their other master Iran has never directly attack Israel , this dumb fanatics never ask themselves why? Lool

The IDF's warning to Nasrallah
Analysis: Israeli security officials are claiming that the Hezbollah leader would be making a grave mistake if he thinks the IDF will sit quietly if his organization responds to Samir Kuntar's assassination with terror attacks.

The IDF is taking Hassan Nasrallah's threats of revenge after the assassination of terrorist Samir Kuntar in Syria seriously. The IDF General Staff is conducting threat assessments about the way in which Nasrallah plans on realizing his threat, which bring about the fear that the Hezbollah Secretary General may mistake Israel's likely response to a revenge attack, whether it be in the north (near the Syrian or Lebanese border), abroad, or even inside Israel.
Senior IDF members remind us of Nasrallah's words in the summer of 2006, after the Second Lebanon War, in which he admitted to underestimating the Israeli government's response to the ambush in which Eldad Regev and Udi Goldwasser were kidnapped.
Israel, of course, started an operation following the kidnapping, which developed into a war in which Hezbollah and Lebanon suffered hundreds of deaths and heavy damage to population centers. Israel also suffered losses and thousands of rockets that fell inside its borders, but the damage was far lesser than that on the other side. After suffering the destructive results of that war, Hezbollah has avoided nearly all large-scale conflicts with Israeli forces for the past nine years.

Nasrallah is also underestimating Israel's intentions to respond harshly if any harm comes to its civilians, soldiers, or sovereignty. A senior IDF official has stated unequivocally that Nasrallah and Hezbollah would be making a big mistake if they perpetrated a lethal terror attack in an attempt to avenge Kuntar's assassination, which they attribute to Israel.
Nasrallah's Threats
In next Lebanon war, Israel must target Beirut / Giora Eiland
Op-ed: If and when hostile activities begin from Lebanese territory, they should lead to a war between Israel and Lebanon. If we only try to defeat Hezbollah and leave Lebanon 'out of the game,' the results will be a lot grimmer than in the previous war.

IDF leaders are also expressing surprise at the fact that Nasrallah maneuvered himself, in a speech he gave recently, towards a public commitment to avenge the assassination of Kuntar and two other members of the terrorist network he established. One of the two was Farhan Shaalan, a Druze man from the village of Ein Qiniyye in the northern Golan Heights who was Kuntar's spokesman.
Nasrallah, and this is well-known here too, didn't really take Kuntar and his operational capabilities very seriously. But he saw in Kuntar a symbol, perhaps because of his 29 years in prison in Israel (incarcerated terrorists are given a special status of respect and influence in Palestinian society and Arab nations).

Additionally, Nasrallah hasn't forgotten that in fact, in order to free Kuntar, he sent his men to kidnap Goldwasser and Regev. When Kuntar was released, he gave him a reception at a Beirut stadium and intertwined his reputation with Kuntar's.
However, Israeli security officials say that the situation is very different today, and that Nasrallah would be making a big mistake if he were to think Israel would not respond to a revenge attack: Firstly, because Israel is more prepared today – from an intelligence, operations, defensive, and most of all offensive point of view – for a conflict and/or war in Lebanon.
The IDF also emphasizing the fact that the Chief of General Staff (CoGS) and his deputy are both former GOCs of the Northern Command from recent years, and that they are the ones who prepared the IDF for exactly the clash into which Nastallah might drag it. On this matter it's important to note that the current head of the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate (AKA Aman. -ed), Major-General Herzl Halevi, was commander of the Galilee Division (AKA The 91st Division. -ed), which planned the next offensive on the Lebanese border.
The quick appointment
An interesting fact that is likely connected to the IDF's preparedness to quickly respond to any Hezbollah attack is the appointment of Colonel Aviad from the Air Force as commander of a special firing force for the Northern Command. Aviad is a fighter pilot who up until recently has headed the Air Force unit that participates in ground battles, and is replacing Artillery Corps man Ilan Levi in the position, after the latter was terminated by the CoGS over a security breach (he left classified documents in his vehicle, which was subsequently stolen with them inside. -ed).
The very fact of the quick appointment, which happened less than 48 hours after Levi's firing, of an Air Force man to a position which had always been held by land Army men, points at the need CoGS Eizenkot sees in the Northern Command being ready to quickly respond to any development. The command structure of the firing force, which was formerly focused on artillery fire with the Air Force and Navy backing it up, has also switched. The Air Force has thousands of targets all over Lebanon today, which it can strike as the result of changes that were recently implemented with its operational proceedings.
True, Hezbollah and its fighters have gained important combat experience in Syria, as well as a huge stockpile of rockets and missiles, but they've also left 1,300 of their dead on Syrian ground, and suffered thousands of wounded. This fact raises ire even among Nasrallah's Shia faction.

Western sources claim that pressure is being raised toward Nasrallah among the Lebanese factions these days to not commit a revenge attack over the Kuntar assassination, in a way that will cause Israel to powerfully retaliate against Lebanon. The main force pressuring Nasrallah is the March 14 movement, headed by Saad Hariri, son of Rafiq Hariri, the Sunni-Muslim Lebanese Prime Minister who was assassinated by Hezbollah.
The Shia faction also has voices who are calling for Nasrallah not to do irresponsible things. But what's truly surprising is the fact that the Iranians are also sending Nasrallah messages these days that say a conflict with Israel right now could cause huge damage to the efforts of preserving Bashar Assad's government in Syria, and Hezbollah and Iran's influence in Lebanon.
A Mughniyeh reminder
These facts tell us that there are forces pushing Nasrallah to act now, and across from them are levers pressuring him in order to stop a complication with Israel. According to foreign publications, at the start of this year (in January 2015) Israel struck a group of Hezbollah commanders in Syria and Iran who were planning a series of terror attacks in the Israeli Golan Heights area. Seven of those commanders were killed in the strike, among them Jihad Mughnuyeh (son of Hezbollah leader Imad Mughniyeh) and an Iranian general.

In retaliation, Hezbollah fired anti-tank missiles at a convoy of Givati Brigade fighters who were coming down from Har Dov – which Hezbollah calls the Shebaa farms. An officer and a fighter were killed in the attack, but Israel did not respond. That doesn't mean that the balance over that attack is squared in Israel's eyes, say security officials.
The IDF also mentions that Nasrallah sees the slopes of Hart Dov as a kind of "playground" where it can legitimately fire at Israel, since it considers the place to be occupied Lebanese ground. The facts are different, but it's not important. What's important is that it's likely that Hezbollah will try to penetrate the 'Shebaa farms' again to perpetrate another revenge attack. That's what the IDF is trying to prevent, to the benefit of all sides. Memorably, CoGS Gadi Eizenkot promised, when he was GOC Northern Command, a disproportionate response to any Hezbollah provocation.

Yeah, because Iron Dome gonna stop F-15/F-16 from wrecking havoc.
Lebanon isn't even allowed to have air defense or Air Force. US threatens to bomb it or give Israel green light to bomb Lebanon. You are very brainwashed as a person. Doesn't surprise me, someone managed to convince you you have connection with Palestine. Even though you're just an European foreigner from wherever you are.
Anyways this is business between you and Lebanon. Israel started it, most likely Israel will tolerate the response like last time.

It's really funny that you blame Kuntar .
If those terrorist occupiers from Poland , Soviet Union and many other countries hadn't entered Palestine and hadn't killed Palestinians and hadn't sent millions of them out of their lands , None of these things would have happened .
It's embarrassing to see this truth and act like bunch of brainwashed , open minded and civilized westerners .
Zionists are the main problem in Middle East and they were the ones that started this mess over a wet dream called sacred land and anything happens is their fault not those Palestinians' .
But sadly , we live in a world full of hypocrisy and lies that mostly come from the US and it's western allies and that's why Zions are praised for all their 60 year long war crimes while Palestinians and Lebanese are considered terrorists for doing what a normal human does .
@hussain , Let me ask you a question . What would you do if your country was attacked ?
What would you do if you were forced to leave your home ?
What would you do if you saw your countrymen , and loved ones dying in a war imposed on you ?
Would you still say all those nice words or would you fight the same way your father did against Saddam's army in 80s ?
Nasrallah did not retaliate terrorist Mughniyeh killing yet from 10 years ago, despite many many promises.
Kuntar killing is especially painful for hezbies since he was their ONLY achievement in 2006 war. So many sacrificed their lives to get him out of comfort Israeli jail and now he is fertilizer.
Don't act like you Zions know shit , Without US support Israel would have been a name in history long before .
Even Americans found out you were on edge , forcing them to give nukes to guarantee your existence .

This happened when nobody own and support the resistance of their brothers.
About 5100,000 Palestinians killed since 1948; post-1967 excess deaths 0.3 million; post-1967 under-5 infant deaths 0.2 million; 3,600 under-5 year old Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) infants die avoidably EACH YEAR in the OPT "Prison" due to Israeli ignoring of the Geneva Convention; 254 OPT Palestinians killed by the Israeli military in the LAST 2 MONTHS OF 2008 ALONE, 301 killed thus last year.

Why Israel haters are so boring and uncreative? All repeat same exact slogans.
Free history lesson for u: US started supporting Israel only AFTER the Six Day war, ie. AFTER Israel 200% secured itself.
5,100,000 Palestinians killed? What u are smoking? In 1948 war Palestinians lost hardy 5 K, in two intifadas + gaza conflicts since 1987 - about 10 K. Other loses are minimal. So total loses since 1948 is less than 20 K. On the other hand Israeli medicine SAVES many many thousands Palestinians each year.
6 top Hezies + Iranian general vs. 2 Israeli border patrol soldiers. Big victory.LOL!

I repeat: there is undisputed fact that Kuntar took a civilian and his little child a hostage. Thats why he is a terrorist and nothing more.
By the way, most probably Kuntar was eliminated already half year ago. This time the target was different I think which we will never know. One of the killed was a butcher of Bayda and Banias Farhan Issam She'lan.
