On Tuesday, Middle East Eye reported that senior Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri in a targeted attack in the Lebanese capital, which the paper warned increases the risk of a wider conflict.
Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’ political bureau, said in a statement: “The assassination of the leader al-Arouri and his brothers by the occupation is a fully-fledged terrorist act, a violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, and an expansion of its aggression.”
In a statement late on Tuesday, Hezbollah said that the attack, which additionally killed two commanders from the al-Qassam Brigades, was a “serious assault on Lebanon” and that the group had “its finger on the trigger.”
The criminal enemy which after ninety days of crime, killing and destruction was unable to subjugate Gaza is resorting to a policy of assassination.
Hezbollah stated.
In response, officials from Hezbollah vowed vengeance.
We affirm that this crime will never pass without response and punishment.
We consider the crime of killing Saleh al-Arouri and his companions in the heart of Beirut’s Dahiyeh a dangerous aggression against Lebanon and its people, security, sovereignty and resistance.
The Lebanese militia group said
Days later on Thursday, the Israeli Defense Force launched strikes on southern Lebanon, resulting in the death of several Hezbollah fighters and a Commander. The Times of Israel reported:
A Hezbollah commander and three other members of the Iran-backed terror group were killed late Wednesday in an Israeli strike in the southern Lebanon city of Naqoura.
Hussein Yazbak, who oversees the group’s operations in the city, close to the Israeli border, was killed in the strike, Hezbollah confirmed. The other three fatalities were named as Ibrahim Fahas, Hadi Reda and Hussein Ghazala.
The strike brought the death toll in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon on Wednesday to nine Hezbollah members, in one of the deadliest days for the group since it began exchanging cross-border fire with Israel in October.
Additionally, also on Thursday, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced they conducted what they called retaliatory strikes in Iraq, resulting in the death of a lesser known terrorist group they claim is backed by Iran.
‘U.S. forces in Iraq today conducted a self-defense strike which killed Mushtaq Jawad Kazim al-Jawari, a leader of the Iran-backed Harakat al-Nujaba terrorist group that is operating both in Iraq and Syria, said the Pentagon press secretary,’ the DoD wrote.
The Pentagon added: ‘Al-Jawari, also known as Abu Taqwa, was actively involved in planning and carrying out attacks against American personnel. Abu Taqwa, along with another member of Harakat al-Nujaba, were both killed in a strike that took place around noon, Jan. 4, in Iraq, said Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder during a briefing.’
It is important to note that the strike was taken in self-defense, that no civilians were harmed, and that no infrastructure or facilities were struck.
Ryder said

Again, beware of a false flag that will greatly expand this war more rapidly than it already it is. SEE: Be Ready For A False Flag Attack To Greatly Expand The West’s And East’s Involvement In The War With Israel And Hamas
[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Mark 13:7-8
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
