Social media platforms reacted to the assassination of Saleh Al-Arouri, deputy head of the political bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and activists circulated video clips of Al-Arouri’s meetings before his assassination – Tuesday evening – in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Among those meetings, Al-Arawi confirmed what he confirmed in a previous interview regarding his talk about martyrdom, saying, “Our blood and our souls are neither more precious nor dearer than any martyr, and it is not permissible for the mother of any martyr to feel that the blood of the leader is dearer and more precious than the blood of her son,” adding that “the martyr who “We had a better day ahead of us.”

Al-Arouri also said – in a previous interview with Tel Aviv Tribune before his martyrdom – that “the occupation will not break the will of our people and will fail to control the Gaza Strip,” stressing that there will be no negotiations with the occupation army regarding the exchange of prisoners until the end of the Israeli aggression on the Strip.
Al-Arouri also explained that Hamas announced from the beginning that the foreign prisoners who arrived in Gaza on October 7 were not a target, and that the resistance was prepared to release them without compensation, as well as women and children.

The circulation of these scenes of Al-Arouri comes amid a wave of anger on Arab social media platforms over his assassination, coinciding with the successive reactions after the Hamas movement announced that Israel assassinated the deputy head of its political bureau and two leaders of the Al-Qassam Brigades in a drone attack on a building in the southern suburb of Beirut this evening.
May God have mercy on Sheikh Saleh
I knew him as brave, sincere, generous, loyal and humble
To the mercy and pleasure of God, Sheikh!
May God hasten your revenge! pic.twitter.com/mmUUcahrhB– Baraa Nezar Rayan (@BaraaNezarRayan) January 2, 2024
The best thing a Muslim can conclude his life with is martyrdom for the sake of God, which befalls him at the hands of God’s enemies, in a burning battle around the Messenger of God’s mission!!
Death is the goal of every living thing… and all people will die…
{And if you die in the cause of God or you die, for forgiveness from God and mercy is better than what they gather. * And if you die or are killed, you will certainly be gathered to God.}
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, told us…

If we reach a comprehensive confrontation, Israel will be defeated in an unprecedented defeat in its history.

#Saleh_Arouri He joins the caravan of martyred leaders.
May God accept him and the men who rose with him, and before him and after him all the martyrs of our people.
An enemy in a state of frenzy, searching for any image of victory that would restore the morale of his people, especially after his failure to assassinate the chief architects of the “Flood.”
