BEIRUT, March 6 (Xinhua) -- A new group called the Martyrs of Imad Moughniyah and Gaza participated in the armed attack carried out in Jerusalem on Thursday, leaving at least eight people killed and 35 others wounded, Hezbollah's Al Manar TV reported.

    This group is unknown previously, said the report.

    Shortly after the report, thick gunfire was heard in Beirut's southern suburb to celebrate the deadly attack.

    Moughniyah, a senior commander of Hezbollah, was killed in a car bombing in a residential neighborhood of Syrian capital Damascus late on Feb. 12.

    Hezbollah has blamed Israel for his assassination, and Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah repeatedly vowed to retaliate, saying that the assassination of Moughniyah will lead to "eliminate Israel".
