You can do:

{foreach from=$Items item=Item}
{assign var=ProdThum value=$product->getImageThumb($Item)}
{$ProdThumb}
{/foreach}

However, it is generally better to restrict templates to only performing
presentation operations. I would recommend getting the thumbnail list
beforehand:

{foreach from=$ThumbnailList item=ThumbSrc}
<img src="{$ThumbSrc}" height="100" width="100" alt="" />
{/foreach}

Or

{foreach from=$Products item=Product}
<img src="{$Product.ThumbSrc}" height="100" width="100"
alt="{$Product.AltText} title="{$Product.Description}" />
{/foreach}
