Israeli intelligence agency Mossad has given the biggest warning to Hamas terrorists. David Barnia, head of the Mossad intelligence service, pledged on Wednesday that the agency would selectively kill every Hamas member who was involved in the October 7 attack on Israel. Even if it is hidden somewhere. Mossad said that no Hamas terrorist will survive. The Mossad chief said this a day after the deputy chief of a Palestinian extremist group was killed in a suspected Israeli attack in Beirut.
Israel declined to comment on reports of the killing of the extremist group’s deputy chief, but David Barnia’s reaction seemed to suggest that the Mossad was behind the attack. He referred to events following the 1972 Munich Olympics killings, when Mossad agents tracked down and killed Palestinian militants involved in the killing of Israeli athletes. Israel was declared on “high alert” on Wednesday amid fears of escalating tensions with Hezbollah militants after its most senior Hamas member, Saleh Arouri, was killed in an attack in the Lebanese capital. Arouri’s killing is a major blow to Hamas since the war broke out in Gaza nearly three months ago. Southern Beirut is considered a stronghold of Hezbollah and an attack here could increase the possibility of the ongoing skirmish on the Lebanon border turning into a war.
Hezbollah vows to avenge Arouri’s murder
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promised revenge for Arouri’s killing in a speech on Wednesday evening, reiterating his group’s statement that it would not remain silent over Arouri’s killing and would not go unpunished. However, Nasrallah did not mention at all when and in what form the reply would be given. “They (Israel) will regret this,” Nasrallah said. There will be a huge price to pay for this.” Barnia, while referring to the attack by Hamas on the territory of southern Israel, said that the Mossad is committed to bringing to account the murderers who attacked the Gaza area. He pledged to eliminate those who were directly or indirectly involved in the attack, including the conspirators and those associated with it. (AP)
