Senior Hamas official Izzat al-Rishq in a statement on Tuesday night said that the assassination of Saleh al-Arouri would surely make the Palestinian Resistance movement more determined to continue their brave resistance against Israel.
“Such cowardly assassinations by the Zionist regime against the leaders and symbols of the Palestinian people inside and outside of Palestine will not succeed in breaking the will and steadfastness of our nation and stopping their brave resistance,” al-Rishq reiterated.
Al-Arouri was martyred as a result of an explosion in a building in al-Musharrafieh district in southern Beirut, Lebanon.
Later, Hamas confirmed that al-Arouri was killed in Israel’s terror attack, which also killed several of his companions.
