"Killed in a military strike" is a better wording than "executed".

Reader comment on item: Samir Kuntar and the Last Laugh

Submitted by Anon. (Israel), Jul 30, 2015 at 15:52

Countless people have been killed in military strikes by the US, Britain, Israel and it isn't refered to as an execution. Kuntar didn't retire to grow potatoes. He clearly remained an active terrorist threat and a combatant.
