SANA'A January 03. 2024(Saba) - To escape defeat, the Zionist enemy chose another form of aggression and escalation, which is targeting the leaders of the Palestinian factions, as the Zionist enemy assassinated the Palestinian leader Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri on Tuesday.
The Islamic Resistance Movement "Hamas" announced the martyrdom of the deputy head of its political bureau, Saleh Al-Arouri, and two of his companions, in a "Zionist strike" on the southern suburb of Beirut.
According to the Lebanese official media agency, a “Zionist march bombing” targeted a Hamas office, in the Musharrafieh residential area, during a meeting of Palestinian leaders.
The agency indicated that six people were killed and others wounded, including Hamas members and Lebanese civilians.
A member of Hamas' political bureau, Izzat al-Rishq, said in a statement: "The cowardly assassinations carried out by the Zionist enemy will not succeed in breaking the will and steadfastness of the Palestinian people."
For his part, the head of the Lebanese caretaker government, Najib Mikati, said: “This explosion implicates Lebanon and is a clear response to the efforts we are making to remove the specter of the ongoing war in Gaza from Lebanon.”
Mikati also asked Foreign Minister Abdullah Bou Habib to “submit an urgent complaint to the UN Security Council against the backdrop of the blatant targeting of Lebanese sovereignty with the bombing that occurred in the southern suburb of Beirut.”
Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh condemned the "assassination operation" and described it as "a crime that bears the identity of its perpetrators."
A hundred Palestinians gathered in the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank to denounce the assassination of Al-Arouri, and the Fatah movement announced - in Ramallah on Wednesday - a “general and comprehensive strike in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorates in response to the assassination” of Al-Arouri in Beirut.
The Islamic Jihad movement also mourned Sheikh Al-Arouri, saying: “The Zionist strike is an attempt to drag the entire region into war to escape the military failure in the Gaza Strip.”
Al-Arouri not the first Palestinian leader to be assassinated by the enemy on Lebanese soil, and he will not be the last, since the beginning of the armed struggle, the Zionist intelligence services have worked to pursue and kill Palestinian faction leaders in various countries of the world.
Since the 1970s, Beirut has been a theater for Palestinian resistance factions and a stable for leaders of armed movements, which made it targeted by the Zionist security services.
