“Obviously, the developments are extremely worrying. And I think this just really highlights what the secretary-general had just said about the dangers of the spillover of this conflict in the wider region,” Xinhua reported citing Florencia Soto Nino, associate spokesperson for Guterres.
“The secretary-general urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint and take urgent steps to de-escalate tensions in the region,” she said.
Guterres has mentioned that this continued fighting has the risk of a great miscalculation by multiple actors, she said.
She said the world body did not have all the details of the attack.
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.
