The Secretary-General of the Unity Party added that when the occupation assassinated Al-Arouri, it wanted to compensate for its losses in Gaza, and its complete failure in achieving its project and ambitions, but the Palestinian people provided thousands of martyrs, “and Al-Arouri’s struggle has not stopped, and will continue until the Zionist project is defeated on our blessed land.”
Required to respond
Regarding the impact of Al-Arouri’s assassination on the course of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle, retired Colonel and military expert Muhammad Al-Muqaba explained that the Israeli mentality is based on implementing a policy of assassinations, and according to military custom, the assassination of Hamas leader Saleh Al-Arouri in Beirut is a targeting of the sovereignty of an Arab country that requires a response from Before the state.
The interview – to Tel Aviv Tribune Net – says that Hezbollah is required to respond to the crime of assassinating Al-Arouri, because this targeting is considered a penetration into the Lebanese interior, especially the southern suburb area, which is the party’s headquarters.
The same spokesman continues that the occupation thus crossed all the red lines set by Hezbollah at the beginning of the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle, so the assassination of Al-Arouri came as a cover for the party in escalating before Lebanese society to defend Lebanon’s sovereignty, which was violated, as he put it.

Al-Adayleh said that Al-Arouri succeeded in uniting the arenas and bringing the nation together towards the cause of Palestine, and that he was not the first martyr and will not be the last, as he was preceded by great leaders such as the late Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Salah Shehadeh, Yahya Ayyash, and dozens of political and military leaders who all went down one path, which is Liberation of Palestine.

Continue the struggle
On the other hand, the expert on Islamic groups, Hassan Abu Haniyeh, believed that the assassination of Al-Arouri is considered a tactical achievement for the occupation, not a strategic one, but it will not affect the cohesion, strength, and vision of the Hamas movement and the resistance, and thus this march will continue, and as Al-Arouri used to say, it is a “martyr’s project.”
Abu Haniyeh added to Tel Aviv Tribune Net: “Sheikh Al-Arouri has great importance in the Hamas movement and the Palestinian struggle, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been searching for more than 3 months for an image of victory with the continued great failure in Gaza, so the decision came to assassinate a major figure like Al-Arouri, but he does not know Hamas has a well-established and solid body that has come to represent the spirit of resistance for the Palestinian people and for the free people of the world.”
The expert stressed that “the liquidation of Hamas’s political and military leaders will not undermine the movement, and I believe that Al-Arouri’s martyrdom will be an incentive for his fans and students to continue the path of the Palestinian struggle.”
In turn, Sheikh Talal Saitan Al-Madhi, one of the sheikhs of the Bedouin tribes of the North and a member of the Jordanian Senate, said that the assassination of Commander Al-Arouri comes within the chapters of the long battle with the “enemy.”
Sheikh Talal Al-Madhi added – to Al-Jazeera Net – that the martyr Al-Arouri carried the banner of liberation and liberation, and everyone who works in this project is a martyr’s project, regardless of his leadership position in the resistance, and whenever a martyr rises in this battle, another resistor carries the banner until the desired goal of liberation is reached. Palestine is completely and undiminished.
Al-Mady said that Al-Arouri “is the son of a pure and clean project, which is the project of truth versus falsehood, and his assassination will not be carried out in support of the resistance, and the Palestinian mother who gave birth to Al-Arouri is the birth of free people and martyrs.”
