Analysis: ‘Very precarious situation’ after Hamas leader killed | Israel-Hamas war
On the Middle East as well his buah has worn an attack on lebanon’s Capital killing a senior Hamas official will not pass without punishment Hamas claims Israel is behind the Drone attack which killed the deputy head of its political Bureau Israel’s not officially claimed responsibility but said it’s at a high
Level of Readiness for retaliation uh Alistar is standing by for us this morning did Israel do it do you think Ali well I don’t think anyone in the region thinks it is anyone other than the Israelis Israelis don’t often uh claim responsibility for high level assassinations like this but Salah alori
Had been on their Wanted list for many years and it would look as though Israel has killed the most senior Hamas Commander during this war so far the fact that it has happened in the center of Beirut the Lebanese Capital means that we are now in a very precarious
Situation now Hezbollah have not wanted to escalate into a full-blown war with Israel so far we’ve seen a lot of crossborder skirmishes a lot of Rocket fire going between Lebanon and Israel but it has been contained to the Border regions so far but this does uh put
Pressure I think on Hezbollah to respond given that it happened in a part of Beirut uh that is controlled by Hezbollah the Israelis as we said they’re not claiming responsibility for it but they are trying to make the point that this was an attack very clearly targeted at Hamas not at Hezbollah uh
There intelligence reports to suggest that uh the air strike uh was held back until everybody who was not a member of Hamas uh had left the area and so it will be hoped by Israel and by others uh that Hezbollah are restrain from carrying out any retaliatory attacks uh
Because this was not an attack on Hezbollah it was not an attack on Lebanon but it was an attack on Hamas however when you’ve got an assassination like this of a very senior Hamas Commander the deputy head of its political Wing uh the head of its or
Deao head of its uh West Bank operation uh what is already a very fragile situation uh could get much more dangerous
Israel is on high alert for an escalation with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah after “the most senior Hamas commander” Saleh al Arouri was killed in Beirut.
Israeli has not officially admitted it carried out the attack but said it’s at a high level of readiness for retaliation.
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah – who previously vowed to retaliate for any Israeli targeting of allied militant leaders in Lebanon – is expected to deliver a speech at 4pm UK time today.

In March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues: "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas… This is part of our strategy to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank."
Former Israeli official Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who wasthe Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s, told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a "counterweight" to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat. Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009 that Hamas is "Israel's creation." Hamas was the result of this, as Mehdi Hasan explains. First, the Israelis helped build up a militant strain of Palestinian political Islam, in the form of Hamas and its Muslim Brotherhood precursors; then, the Israelis switched tack and tried to bomb, besiege, and blockade it out of existence.
It is to be believed that Israel do things to bring Iran into the war directly and want to escalate the war widely .
Some evil people in the world want to see a ww3. We need to put an end to all of this ASAP!. Ww1 was started by a teenager. Ww2 was started by one man. With everything going on in today's world. I don't think people understand how close we are to ww3!!!!! Humans need to come together and protest to our leaders for Fcn peace. Before this gets out of hand

Arouri. Hamas's deputy leader was also on the US terrorism list with a bounty of $5m (£4m) on his head since 2018
THE GOD ISRAEL 🇮🇱 IS POWERFUL THAN ANY OTHER god😂😂😂😂
Allhelmdildoallah
I have been wondering, how does Isreal get this intelligence to know the move of their enemies
It's not Israel vs Hamas but Israel vs Palestinian people.
israel is desperate..
Next up are the cowards hiding in Qatar
The United States government is stupid to be carrying on a proxy war for Israel Israel fight its own battles we are the United States of America not the state of Israel
Lol..
It's not an attack on Lebanon, and by default, Hezbollah, honest, it's not.
We just sent a drone attack into the capitol, but it's not an attack on Lebanon.
I somehow doubt that's going to placate Hezbollah.
WHY is State terrorism welcomed by Western Media – where is national LAW ?
How dare they target him without his human shields!
Hamas started the war and now wants special consideration. Cry Babies.
Iran has many enemies ready to help Israel. This man was a evil Hamas leader.

Why was he in Beirut relaxing when he should have been fighting alongside Hamas? A real leader wouldn’t have been hiding while his men were dying
Advice to the Arab countries to put their hand in the hand of the State of Israel because the countries of Israel are the safety valve for the world and they alone are fighting the cells of darkness and terrorism.
Made up stories by Israel… There is no proof that he was killed.
a huge mistake….that complicate all issues..hostages release … escalation…
