Hezbollah vows retaliation over Israeli killing of Hamas deputy • FRANCE 24 English

We’re going to get the very latest on these new developments now from Beirut with France 24 correspondent Raad Taha Raad first of all what kind of reaction has there been there to the death of Salah Ali we’ve seen first the former reaction of the Lebanese government caretaker

Prime minister niib mikati has issued a statement short shortly after uh the attack in which he condemned what he called this Israeli aggression on Lebanese territory shortly after that in the late evening hours of of Tuesday night Hezbollah issued its own statement out of which it also condemned the

Attack and mentioned in that official hisbah statement that there will be a retaliation to the assassination of arri which took place in beirut’s southern suburb which is aah stronghold other Lebanese political parties and political figures have been calling for uh constrainted while also uh condemning Israel so we’re looking at the next uh

Few hours to days which will uh very will be very likely important over what could developments be on lebanon’s Southern border indeed and the leader of Hezbollah is due to speak a little later today at 5:00 P PM local time what could we expect from that so this was an already scheduled

Speech for Secretary General ofah Hassan nah is expected to speak later today however another uh another thing to point is that hasbalah just announced that NASA will also be speaking on Friday evening so ever since October 7 we haven’t seen NASA speaking often we’re looking at two speeches within a

Span of two days so he’s speaking this afternoon and also on Friday as I mentioned before today’s speech was already uh scheduled ahead of the assassination so now everyone uh is waiting to see whether today’s speech will have a lot of content that will actually reflect on what hezbollah’s

Next steps could be or that could also possibly be delayed to Friday in the speech that was just scheduled a moment ago rad Hamas Source has said that our was also the link between Hamas Iran and Hezbollah break that down a bit more for

Us if you will what more can you tell us about that so arui is one of the leading figures who worked on the reconciliation between Hamas and Hezbollah and the Syrian regime so as we know for a fact that the relationship between Hamas and the Syrian regime Iran and Hezbollah

Slightly detoriated since the start of the Syrian Uprising or the Syrian Civil War in 2011 uh however aru was one of the leading figures which worked on the reconciliation between the two organizations and the Syrian regime and of course Iran as well so he’s he was a key focal point of the relationship

Between Hamas and hasah and this is why Hamas officials and Hamas supporters expect a retaliation from hisbah in particular on the death of aruri not just because the assassination happened inah’s stronghold of Beirut Southern suburb but because of the relationship of aruri himself with and with the Iranian access as a whole

One thing to also keep in mind is that sources close toah have told Lebanese media and local Arab media that there will be a retaliation to the assassination of aruri however it will be a calculated retaliation because as the sources mentioned that Hezbollah is claiming that Israel is trying to drag

Lebanon into this war and this last assassination is is one of the one of the attempts however heah does not want to drag Lebanon uh to a fullscale war according to what their sources are telling uh telling local and Arab media so as I mentioned the next few hours and

The next few days will be very crucial

Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group warned that Israel’s killing Tuesday of the deputy Hamas leader in a Beirut suburb they control “will not go unanswered or unpunished”.

  12. Get his man a proper General's Uniform. It's as if he doesn't know his place.
    Go ahead… tell me about all your military training…
    In over your head.

  15. I know… or at least, I suspect… You don't wana be GOD of Death. I understand. I wasn't so hip on being GOD of Death when I was appointed. However… we all serve.
    I continue to be Shinigami King. Thanks to the Japanese there is no getting out of it.
    It is far easier when you can just write a name down… Pray on it.

  16. Not sure why these leaders threatens other with retaliation , because you are actually tell people to prepare. We see when Ukraine/NATO informed Russia through the media that they were going on the offensive the Russians just prepared and they were defeated in around 4 days. You should only talk if you are not really going to do anything.

  17. From my point of view… my life, my death rests on me doing my duty. So what really matters here is if you… Mr. Iran, agree with me, or disagree with me. That is what leads to war.
    Does it not?

  19. If Netanyahu hadn't squandered sympathies of greater humanity with ethnic cleansing, Hezbollah wouldn't feel as emboldened. Given Israel's leading intelligence and ability to laser strike al-Arouri, why didn't they pursue Hamas this way initially – instead of indiscriminately air striking? Bibi is just as much of a monster as October 7 Hamas planners.

  25. Hezbollah has been firing rockets into Israel since day one so it is Israel vowing to “retaliate” not Hezbollah! Lol

  26. Oh goidy Jezbollah has found an excuse to join in the chaos. How long before there's a full scale world war?? I'm seriously worried by how quick these old men jump on the bandwagon of war. Please, sit down and talk….no one wants a world war except you old fogies!!

  27. Nasrallah got the 5 million dollar reward .
    He turned in the Palestinian leader Arori.
    Nasralah is on the Israeli payroll, making guest appearances when he is told.
