Jihad Mughniyeh is the Hezbollah's most prominent figure to die so far in Syria since the Shiite militant group joined the conflict next door in 2012, fighting on Assad's side against the Sunni-led rebellion. Thousands of supporters pumped their fists angrily in the air and chanted, "Death to Israel." (AP Photo/Bilal Hussein)")
