Hezbollah vows that Hamas leader’s assassination ‘won’t go unpunished’
The Lebanese resistance movement of Hezbollah vows that the Israeli regime’s earlier assassination of senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri “will undoubtedly not go unanswered and unpunished.”
The Lebanese group made the remarks in a statement on Tuesday.
The statement came shortly after an Israeli drone attack against a southern Beirut suburb led to the martyrdom of six people, including al-Arouri, who used to serve as the deputy head of the Political Bureau of the Gaza Strip-based Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas.
The deputy head of Hamas political bureau has been assassinated in an Israeli drone attack in the southern suburb of Beirut.
“Our resistance remains firm, proud, and faithful to its principles and commitments that it has made to itself, ready with its hand on the trigger and its fighters at the highest level of readiness and preparedness,” Hezbollah asserted.
The movement described al-Arouri’s assassination as a “dangerous attack” on the Lebanese sovereignty, and a “dangerous development” in the course of the war between the Israeli enemy and the regional Axis of Resistance.
The “heinous crime,” Hezbollah added, will only increase the regional resistance fighters’ faith and boost their resolve to keep on their path “until victory and liberation” from Israeli occupation and aggression.
Hezbollah’s statement, meanwhile, considered the targeted killing attack targeting al-Arouri to be a continuation of the assassination of Brigadier General Seyyed Razi Mousavi.

Mousavi, a senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, was martyred in a missile attack by the occupying regime against the Sayyeda Zeinab neighborhood of the Syrian capital Damascus on Monday. He was martyred while serving as part of Iran’s military advisory mission in the Arab country.
