chaining bash command with double ampersand - unexpected behavior

Vote count:

The following works well

[root]# killall httpd

[root]# service httpd start
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

[root]# service httpd status
httpd (pid  2987) is running...

The following is supposed to work like above, but it's not

[root]# killall httpd && service httpd start
Starting httpd: 

[root]# service httpd status
httpd is stopped

Note that here it didn't return the [OK] signal for starting httpd.

What is going wrong?

Do bash commands by ampersand chaining run asynchronously?

How can i make sure that they run synchronously one AFTER another?
