Lebanese Shiite Party-Militia Hezbollah said assassination was ‘number two’ political wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, Saleh al-Arouri“will not go unanswered and unpunished.”
In a statement collected by the Lebanese News Agency NNAHezbollah said its fighters were ready to retaliate for the attack, which they attributed to the Israeli army.
In fact, Hezbollah warned that the episode represented “a dangerous development in the war between the enemy and the axis of resistance,” referring to Israel and Hamas.
In addition, he said it was a “serious attack on Lebanon, its people, its security and its sovereignty.”
“The criminal enemy who after 90 days of crime, murder and destruction failed to subjugate Gaza (…) nor the rest of the proud cities, fields and villages resort to a policy of murder and physical liquidation of all those who worked, planned, carried out or supported the heroic operation of flooding Al-Aqsa,” the statement said.
At least seven people, including al-Arouri and other Hamas members, were killed and several others wounded in a drone attack on a Palestinian police office in Mushrifiyah, a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
Al Arouri had lived in Lebanon since 2018 and was released in 2010 after spending 12 years in Israeli prisons.
Considered the “number two” of Hamas’s political wing and one of the commanders of the al-Qassam brigades, he is credited with being responsible for several attacks on Israel from Lebanese territory.
It is marked as one of main intermediaries in the release of hostages taken on October 7.
The news quickly received a response from authorities in Lebanon, Iran or the Palestinian militias themselves, who accuse Israel of responsibility for the attack.
Israeli authorities have not commented on the situation, and the local press suggests that Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet ordered its ministers not to talk about the attack.
Hamas blamed the “Zionist occupation”, referring to Israel, for the “cowardly” murder of Palestinian leaders “inside and outside Palestine”.
The bombing of his office in Beirut “once again proves the complete failure” of Israel in the Gaza Strip, he said in a statement.
Hamas’s armed wing, the al-Qassam Brigades, co-founded by Saleh al-Arouri, has promised “response to all crimes” against Palestinians.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad group described it as a “cowardly and treacherous murder”, which has a strong military presence in the Gaza Strip after Hamas and is also fighting the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip. (Europe Press and EFE)
