Hezbollah: The assassination of Al-Arouri in Lebanon is a serious assault on Lebanon, its security and sovereignty
BEIRUT, Jan. 03 (YPA) – Hezbollah strongly condemned the Zionist assassination of Saleh Al-Arouri, deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, in the southern suburb of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Tuesday.
Hezbollah offered condolences to Hamas, the brave fighters of Al-Qassam Brigades, the locals of the steadfast Gaza, Al-Quds, and wounded West Bank, and all the Palestinian resistance factions as well as movements, affirming that Sheikh Arouri and his comrades obtained martyrdom which they had hoped to reach.
In a statement issued on Tuesday evening, Hezbollah underlined that it considers the crime of assassinating Sheikh Saleh Al-Arouri and his fellow martyrs in the heart of the southern suburb of Beirut as a serious assault on Lebanon and its people, security, sovereignty, and resistance.
Hezbollah emphasized that this heinous crime would only reinforce the belief of the resistance groups in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran and Iraq in their just cause and solidify their firm commitment and determination to continue the path of resistance and jihad until victory and liberation.
“Today’s crime is a continuation of the crime of assassinating Commander Sayyed Radhi Al-Moussawi in another field of action and a new front of combat and support.”
Hezbollah also affirmed that this crime will never go unanswered and without a punishment, reiterating the Resistance commitment to its principles and pledges.
The statement concluded that the Islamic Resistance is completely ready for the confrontation with the enemy and that its fighters’ fingers are on the trigger.
