According to the Palestinian organization, the attack on the Hamas office in Beirut resulted in the death of two Qassam leaders and Hamas deputy commander Saleh al-Arouri.
Al Jazeera's diplomatic correspondent explicitly questioned UN secretary-general spokesperson Florencia Soto Nino regarding whether the Israeli-led assault on al-Arouri violated the UN Charter and whether Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned the attack. She avoided the inquiry by stating that she "did not wish to speculate.
" She added, however, that the head of the United Nations was urging absolute restraint. "We are urging all stakeholders to exercise the utmost restraint due to the escalating tensions and the precarious nature of the situation in the region. I believe our message to everyone is consistent. Soto Nino stated, "We do not want any rash actions that could incite additional violence."
According to Imad Harb, director of research at the Arab Center in Washington, DC, Hezbollah will probably increase its assaults against Israel in retaliation for Saleh al-Arouri's death, but will not escalate the conflict to full-scale war. " In addition, Israel could potentially face further Hamas assaults emanating from southern Lebanon." "Moreover, it will undoubtedly be more vigilant with regard to its own leaders," Harb told Al Jazeera.
Furthermore, neither Hezbollah nor Israel appear intent on "completely obstructing the front," he continued. "I believe the Israelis are anticipating a bit more vigilance from Hezbollah," he stated. "They did what they did for that reason." According to the Israeli news outlet Arutz Sheva, ministerial colleagues have received instructions not to conduct interviews regarding the assassination of al-Arouri in Beirut. This comes after Member of Parliament Danny Danon praised Israel's security services.
In an indirect remark on X, formerly Twitter, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated, "All your enemies will perish, Israel." Former leaders assassinated by Israel consist of: "The Engineer," Yahya Ayyash, the alleged senior bombmaker of the group, was murdered in 1996 using a booby-trapped mobile phone. In 2002, F-16s bombed the residence of Salah Shehadeh, one of the pioneers of Hamas' Qassam Brigades, resulting in his death. The debris of a four-story apartment building buried at least eleven other Palestinians, including seven children. An Israeli helicopter assault in 2004 murdered Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, a co-founder of Hamas who was confined to a wheelchair. The 2004 assassination of group co-founder Abd Al-Aziz al-Rantisi occurred in an attack on his vehicle. In 2006, a residential structure targeted in the vicinity of Gaza City claimed the lives of military wing chief Nabil Abu Selmeya, his wife, and seven sons and daughters ranging in age from seven to nineteen.
